be broad enough to cover every spot over Whlcn the starry banner of Liberty floats. Realize to It's fullest that this nation is the heir of all the ages; that here maa is working out the great problems of hu- man government Let every advance of every section, whether made by New England, by the Middle States or by the Western, cause you to rejoice. Rejoice with those that do rejoice and weep with those that weep" Cherish above all else the giories-past, present and to come of this your native land. My country, us of thee, may well be your song of praise. But amid it all never foI get to hold in tenderest reverence the mem ory of this Southern land; never forget to give all honor to the men Ind w0r.tn of did; remember that the old South pro- duced race of men and women whose virtues and whose attainments are wor- thy 10 be enshrined not only in every US civilization was not perfect. 1t had many flaws, in fact: but where is praise the virtues of the old South with should l say it's misfortunes? By what know not. but I do know that while the South took race fresh from barbarism and within one or two generations civil the south, was the beneficiary.

 You. young man: have an opportunity for great eeeds, for fame, for fortune. could even have dreamed of. But remem- Der that neither fame nor fortune count for all of life. Unless they be united with curse. Remember that as Robert D. Lee or once e. wrote, s Duty is the no9lest word a Character which shall outlast all earth ly fame and fortune. and then. indeed. the men and women whose virtues. do- nestle and public, have forever made sacred the ,,dne memory ,o of the old South.
