mendous issue. My only fear is that we
will not be found in the ranks and fully
armed to do our part IN this campaign Of
the eternities.
Again, remark that the month of jan
uary has seen many OF the most stupen-
dous events in the worlds history and a
rocking of cradles and the digging Of
grave hat have affected nations In this
month American independence was de
clared, followed by Lexington and Bunker
Hill and Monmouth and Valley Forge and
Yorktown. January saw the proclamation
that abolished American slavery. Though
at the time there were two mighty opin-
ions and they were exactly opposed-those
who liked the document and those who dis
liked it-there is but one opinion now, and
II 1t were put TO vote IN all the States of
the South, Shall slavery be reinstated!"
there would be an overwhelming vote of
NO" The pen with which the document
was signed and the inkstand that con-
tanned the ink are relics as sacred and val
liable as the original Declaration of hide
pendence, with all its erasures and inter-
lineations. The institution which for sew
enty or eighty years kept the nation in
angry controversy has disappeared and
nothing IS left to fight about The North
and the South to-day are in as complete
accord as oVer were flute and cornet IN the
same orchestra.
The North has built its factories on the
banks of the Chattahoochee and the Roa-
noke, and the South has sent many of its
ables attorneys into our northern court
houses, It's most skilful physicians into our
sick rooms, its wisest bankers into our
exchanges, its most conSecrated ministers
into our pulpitS-all this the result of the
PROCLAMATION of January l, 1868.
Furthermore, notice that January has
been honored with the nativity OF som,
