 War with all it's horrors is fearful to contemplate. It arouses the bitterest passions, but calls forth the tenderest sentiments. It strikes down the mon uments of wealth and power, but it de- velops immense resources to supplant them. It destroys life in conflict, and health by disease, but it awakens the kindest feelings of sympathy and de- votion. It sweeps through the land like the bosom of destruction, but it stimulates energy, excites pity and arouses the warmest feelings of the na- tional heart. It heals the dissensions of bygone years, and initiates renais- sance of patriotism. It recalls the memory of past heroism, and provides remedy for future misgovernment. It enables us to discover by the light of experience the errors of the present, that they may not be repeated in the
  future.
 Where in history can be found rec ord more sublime in its devotion than the tender care or our wounded. It was woman'S mission to alleviate the sufferings produced. The women of cur land have reared a monument of lasting fame. by the holy sacrifice of all the comforts Of life in the prosecu- tion of this noble work All caste and condition were forgotten in the patri- ctic desire to serve their country by caring for it's defenders. By night and by day, in camp and field and hospital, they piled their earnest effort to re- lieve the misery incident to a deadly conflict. Who can recount the myri- ads of blessings conferred by this de- voted band of our fair countrywomen. Never shall we forget their sacred mis- sion, and the grand results accom- plished.
 It is the proud boast of the American people that no other land compares with ours for the devotion of women to the call of mercy. Never before have such urgent demands been made upon her attention, and responded to with such alacrity. The world looks on in admiring wonder at these exhibitions of female devotion. No time, nor place nor circumstance could unnerve her courage, paralyze her energy, or damp en her ardor. Her scul was in the cause and her spirit was filled with emotion. This nation will nevsr for get it's fighting sons, and it's devoted daughters-the noble women who min istered to their suffering countrymen with heartfelt sympathy, deserve the eternal gratitude of mankind. When we witness these manifestations Of wo- mans affection in times of distress, the gentle, look, the kindly word, the sym pathetic tone, the delicate touch of the velvet hand upon the fevered brow, and the beaming expressions of a sincere pity; An, then we forgive all her foi- bleS.
 War is no respectCr of persons. It develops genuine sentiments, and tears the veil Of hypocrisy from the face of insidious cunning. It has shown this nation it's friends and it's foes. It has taught the people of all sections whom they can trust and upon whom they can rely.
 It has been an object lesson in po- litical economy, as well as in the stern realities of conflict. Let us heed this lSSSOn anu DG SUN0Tu6u Uy luS tApSIt- ence so dearly bought
