Rev. MIR. Mathison's Address.

Early in his address the speaker
said that gin our civil war victory from
every viewpoint perched on the side
of right. 1t was a war in which the
melting motives on both sides were
neither low nor selfish. The South
was steadfast beyond a parallel in
history. She thought she saw one of
those institutions, upon whose main
tenance depended prosperity and
wealth, seriously imperiled and the
comfort of her loved ones trembling
as in the balance" He then pro-
ceeded to show that it was a high
though mistaken motive that prompt
ed the Confederate states to secede,
and that the mistake must be attri-
buted to short-sighted vision rather
than dishonesty or interestedness of
purpose.
After touching upon the resplen-
dent glory of the northern armies the
speaker turned his thoughts to the
consideration of some of the things
that the civil war did for our country
outside of those which are obvious.
First, it gave our people a lesson in
the size and resources of our country.
At the close of the conflict the north
ern youth, whose knowledge had been
almost coterminous with the hills
which bounded his narrow valley
went forth to hew out for himself
home in the more distant but richer
portions of our land and took large
part in subduing the prairie states
The war was prolific in great men,
1t all but created them. Tremendous
responsibilities sobered, and vast op-
portunities inspired to successful eff
fort Henceforth through every de-
partment of our life the nobility of
prompt and competent manhood was
recognized. and to this recognition is
due the greatness of this present
American people.
SIS the labor of the G. A. R. finished?
Is our land no longer menaced by false
theories of right? ! see my country
threatened by many dangers. Greed
and spite give evidence of their Nigh
ty workings in the struggle that goes
on ceaselessly twixt capital and labor.
And who is there can forget that since
we last assembled the champion of a
political heresy has lifted himself in
to prominence in our midst? l be-
lieve, l say it thoughtfully I believe
that the divine purpose in permitting
the assassination of our President was
to open our eyes to the fearful con-
sequence of error and render us con-
scious of approaching danger.
But how does this especially con-
Germ you? With passing years the
Grand Army of the Republic will de-
crease in numbers, but with that de-
rease will come an increased individ-
ual influence. During the years that
are to pass until the mastering out
of the last soldiers of the rebellion
yours is to be condition of greater
prominence and larger influence.
From the knowledge gained of the
great value of principles and the disas-
ter that follows in the path of error
you can, with that influence which
will be more and more your portion,
influence the young, whose influence
will in turn be felt through many flu
ture generations. Thus, after the
last campfire has been extinguished
and we no more see reminders, in
crippled limbs and pallid faces. OF
the conflict long gone by, your in
fiuence will remain lingering like q
