before the Ark of the Lord your
God, into the midst of Jordan, and take
you UP every man of you stone upon
his shoulder according unto the number
of the tribes of the children of Isreal;
"That this may be a sign among you,
that when your children ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, What
mean We by these stones?
'Then we shall answer them, That the
waters of Jordan We're cut off before the
Ark of the Covenant of the Lord; when
it passed over Jordan, the waters of
Jordan were cut off; and these stones
shall be for memorial unto the chill
dren of Irael forever.
"And the children of Israel did so as
Joshua commanded, and took up twelve
stones out of the midst of Jordan, as
the Lord spake unto Joshua, according
to the number of the tribes of the chill
dren of Israel, and carried them over
with them unto the place where they
lodged, and laid them down there.
And Joshua set up twelve stones in
the midst of Jordan, in the place where
the feet of the priests which bear the
Ark of the Covenant stood; and they
are there unto this day."
And your fathers and teachers can say
to YOU children, and you can say to the
children which shall come after you,
that we mean by this monument to COM
memorate the services of the man who
was the great hero martyr of American
colonization; and we Americans owe him
a debt no less than we owe to Wash
ington and to Jefferson; and to North
Carolina is reserved the honor OF begin
ming the payment of that debt, as far as
it may be done, by erecting monument
TO be a perpetual reminder of his good
deeds for us.
In conclusion, it is not improper to
add that the State Literary and His
torical Association, the organization In
which this monument was proposed is
the same that suggested to the Legls-
lature the Act of establishing Rural
Libraries, and the Act requiring setting
apart of day in each year for the study,
in the public schools, of our State his
tory.
1t should be further added that the
committee having in charge the erection
of this statue are preparing a calendar
for the school children of North Caro-
lima, containing a synopsis of the princl-
pal events in the life of Sir Walter
Raleigh.
To the school children of North Caro-
lima and their teachers and officers is
commended the study of North Caro-
lima history, beginning with the man
who was it's very source and greatest
exemplar. The man who, with Columbus
and the other great explorers and aavi-
gators of that time, gave to the world
two continents with all their wealth and
fullness, homes for the teeming millions
which now enjoy them. AS you consider
him he will loom up and stand con-
spicuous in that grandeur which re-
ouires the distance Of centuries to truly
appreciate.
All funds for the proposed monument
should be forwarded to Mr.. Jos. q.
Brown, treasurer, Raleigh, N. G.
With distinguished consideration, /
beg to subscribe myself,
Your most obedient servant,
