IN the better light of a third of a cen

on the civil war not as heated partic-
pants in its events, but rather as thought
full students of its results.
We can now see that God was preparing
the nation through a sacrifice of blood to
become his consistent agent in the diff
cult task of advancing civilization in the
dark places of earth and in extending
christian liberty among the islands of
the sea.
It is the training of the civil war that
made the unparalleled ACHIEVEMENTS of the
past year possible.
The sons of the Blue and the Gray full
fiHed the promise of their fathers whf n
they fell into line side by side to test I he
power of Spain. And they have divi( led
the houors of a most brilliant campo iyn
on land and sea between them.
The daring spirit of Lieut.. Hobso a of
Alabama is the pride of the North a. well
as the South.
The dashing courage of Col. Ro osevelt
of New York, with his rough ride RS from
both section, has won the admir- alton of
US all, and we old soldiers of the cavalry
recognize a gallant brother in Gen. Joe
Wheeler that Ubiquitous troopt n of Ala

when we wore the blue and h. the gray
And a startled world joins us with nm
covered heads in paying hon lage to that

My fellow citizens of the Gray and the
Blue as we distrit ute these flowers on
the graves. of moro than 1000 of the ma
tiOns Confederate dead, I feel that we
should thank God that we and they were
permitted to belo ng TO that generation of
soldiers who WEI e selected to work out
His plans, no howe yer mysterious, for the
generation of II e republic.
In closing, l quote the language of Gen.
Gordon at the late Confederate reunion at
Charleston, S. c., when he said: 81 feel
the name of every Confederate and son
and daugher of Confederates, the South $
eternal lOyal ty to every cause for the up
building of American manhood, the unity
of American people, and by all these agen-
cies we me- Iy accelerate the onward march
of the Al .nerican republic in its benign
progress
Men an a women of the North we should
be encOT ragged to pay some regard TO the
graves ct their comrades. which the for
tune of war has placed in our keeping to
hear 81 Ich sentiments expressed by the
foren1o Isl living Confederate and Endorsed
by the i great assembly of his comrades.
And to know that they would join US
heart ly in expressing the patriotic senti-
ment of our great American poet:
Og e flag, one land one heart, one hand,
ONE nation evermore.
Sail ,on, Oh!'Ship of State,
Sail or, OH Union, strong and great.
TIum lnity with all it's fears,
With all its hopes of future years,
IL ham ring GREATNESS on thy fate.
