Of the great battles Of the rebellion, we
have gathered to swear renewed fidelity
to the flag and country Tor which our
esteemed comrade gave the best years
of his life
"Mr. Commander, the accustomed
words which you have read from our
ritual were glorious prophecy III for

days they have become a solemn fact
There IS now no north, no south, no
east, no west, while from every state
and almost every country and town
| men are rallying in defence of the dag

made possible the peace of the inter-
ven1ng years and the patriotism of
1885, 1t is well for us in our declining
