The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-14


As time passes on and the men become older
and more infirm, the home will, step by step,
become one vast hospital with lessening num-
bers and increasing disabilities of its occu-
pants.
What a solemn thing it is that fifty or sixty
years hence when some of the boys and girls
that are here tonight may possibly see and
know him, the last solder OF the Civil War,
will be waiting the final summons-only one
on the muster-roll that once held over two mil
lions of names: only one present at the last
sounding OF "taps'': only one of the myriad
that went forth to battle IN the flush of youth
following the starry banner, resolved to uphold
it through all the storms OF war, to carry it
alott to victory, to endure all hardships, all
suffering, that the Government of the Union
should live. Our mental vision reaches far
into the middle of the next century as we con-
est army the world ever knew Aged and fee
BILE, as with tottering step, he approaches the
boundary of the silent land, there will cluster
around him all the romance, all the heroism OF
the great struggle for human rights, for unity,
for freedom. AS he passes from earth only
memory will remain; but, comrades and
friends, we trust and believe 1T will be mem
ory fruitful of good results to our beloved
country, a memory inspiring the Americans of
that future time to emulate the example of the
heroes of '61 and '65, TO be loyal and true to
the Old Flag, and to teach and practice glow
ing patriotism, the best surety of prosperous,
progressive and enduring nation.
