BATTLEFIELD OF LIFE"
My comrades, permit me To express my
great personal pleasure at meeting you.
l knew comparatively few of you in the
days Of the war. for you were members
of many commands; but to every one of
you | am bound by ties that will never
be severed by me.
To the young the period when we were
engaged i'm our righteous warfare. seems
as distant almost as the battles Of an
cient Greece and Rome, but to us, how
near.
IT is only when we compare our vigor
then with our vigor now. our looks then
with our looks now, our nimblc step then
with our cautious step now. our smooth
cheeks then with our furrowed cheeks
now: when we think of our sweethearts
then and Of our wives and children and
grandchildren now, that we realize how
time. like swift never-resting current,
has been running. and that we have put
more than thrty-two years between US
ana AppomattOx. and that in the course
OF NJ ture, from this time forward we Will
be dropping on the battlefield Of life as
fast as our young comrades fell on the
fields OF shot and shell. Each Of us can
truly say:
Time has stolen march on me
And made me old unawares.'
But, my comrades let US continue TO
pass the old story down the line, and
keep alive the spirit of devotion to the
memoir of "thc cause. though lost still
just" and To cultivate among ourselves
the spirit OF fraternal feeling.
Let us ever hold our heads erect. recant
nothing apologize for nothing, and from
the depths of our souls let us be ready
to eXclaim:
Never hand
Waved sword from stain so free
Nor purer sword led Drawer band.
Nor Drawer bled for a brighter land.
Nor brighter land had a cause sc grand,
Nor cause a chief like Lee"
As the Executive Of the State. which
YOU have adorned in war and in peace,
as soldiers and as citizens. | assure you
again, If assurance be needed, that you
are most heartily welcomed TO this. your
Capital city. l trust your meeting will
be pleasant. and that when your camp
labors are over. and you will have re-
mained with us as long as home duties
will permit. you will return in safety to
your families and to those who honor
you as Confederate veterans and respect
YOU as worthy sons of commonwealth
that to every Virginian lis all that is
grand great. good and glorious"
