the Republic and. what it represented
Capt. Donahower gave a vivid descrip-
ton of the battle of Missionary Ridge.
Mr.. Bede followed with some interesting
anecdotes Of war and patriotism. He,
too, had visited the scene Of the battle
Of Missionary Ridge, but he asserted that
he did not meet with quite as warm q re-
ception as the tgHos gentlemen Who had
preceded him. The teaching Of patriotism
was not to love ones own country and
hate every other country, but to love
every country, ana ili the light of modern
education give them the best we have.
