the conflict OF whose centrifugal ana CEN
tripetal forces has baiiied the Philosophy
of the Old World. He must be enthusi-
astic but his enthusiasm must be re-
strained by Judgment: this enthusiasm
must be both sectional and national. ana
this Judgment must be botn minute ana
comprehensive. He must ne bold ana
fearless. but always liberal re must o.
eloquent. for he is dealing with a Lofty
theme-the most gigantic Internal struggle
which history records--the frandest contri-
button which the nineteenth century mas
made to human greatness; Am1 nc -
proudest title to martial glory. lie Is
painting for future ages the picture OF
that eventful epoch. whose memories are
the joint heritage OF all Americans, anu
which is destined 10 occupy In American
history the pathetic place which the war
OF the roses now occupies IN the annals
Of England and in the hearts OF Enehsh-
men.
In the foreground OF this historic pic
ture your committee would place nools
pile OF Parian marble, pure and chaste'
strong and enduring. on whose high sum
nit there shall kneel the figure or the
southern woman, the guardian aneel OF
the Confederacy, with eyes turned 20
Heaven. and sacred hands extended In
unceasing blessings on the heads ana
hearts of the fathers and husbands ana
brothers and sons of our Southland.
