 'On the Fourth of July this nation celebrates it's birthday; on the 30th of May it celebrates it's recovery from peril which for four years most serious ly threatened to destroy it's life. In some respects the latter is the most im- pressive of the two celebrations.
 ''Thlrty-seven years ago on two suc- Cessive days total of 9,000 men on their way home from the battlefield marched along Pennsylvania avenue in the city of Washington, greeted by the cheers of a numberless throng In front of the capitol huge banner was stretched which bore this inscription: "rhe only national debt we can never pay is the debt we owe to the victorious Union soldiers. These words were true thirty-seven years ago, and they are no less true to-day
 Brothers of the Grand Army We join you to-day in doing honor to the memory of those who sleep beneath the folds of the flag for which they gave their lives. We give them resurrec- ton in our thoughts and with reverent and profound gratitude we place flow CTS upon their graves, while we recite the record of their heroic deeds. They gave their lives not only for the flag, and not only for their own homes, but also for humanity and human liberty world wide. They fought better than they knew. The glory of their work has gone out through all the earth, into distances and crystalizing into triumphs of which they never dreamed. And these children who are with us to-day will see infinitely more of this nations imperial power in the path, of human progress than we have seen"
