already fixed their place IN history.
You saved the Union;
You saved the South from itself;
You saved the republican idea to
humanity. This much is yours forever.
In saving the Union you made pos
sible the world power which the Union
has become. You made it continental
and the arbiter of this half of the globe.
It's peaceful gain in wealth was greater
in the twenty years succeeding Lees
surrender than in the previous eighty
years; and that gain dates back. in
large degree, TO the feeling of business
faith and national pride which your
victories conferred. Out of the military
virtues shown OH both sides of the war
has come a special and peculiar
strength to the restored Union; and
this has done much to raise the nation
from the third to the first rank. The
more widespread and powerful state
than was the empire of Julius,
Caesar.
You saved the South from itself. The
Confederaey wagered its hope of life
on the idea of secession, on the right of
political suicide. The edifice of its civil
power had a corner stone of dynamite,
its frame work was of matchwood and
its tena5.ts had the vested right, IL
things went wrong, to set the place on
fire. Had the South won. its victory

a nations sympathy on each Memorial
day.
But after all, the heroes Of the Civil
War on either side need no shape of
granite nor of bronze to make their
lasting than the rock. The monument
reared to them receives more immortal
ity than it confers. There was once a
stone lion set up in the narrow pass
where 800 Spartans fell in defence of
native land. For twice thousand
years no lion has been there, but who
has forgotten Leonidas of Thermopylae
and his little band of fighting men?
There is today lion of stone on the
field of Waterloo. but long after it shall
have crumbled into dust, men will re-
call what happened there to make the
lion typical. Bunker Hill needs no
carven epitaph, nor does Gettysburg
nor Appomattox- What was done there

Grams of the Civil War, has not yet
been written on stone nor revealed by

one has cast it up and no one can do so
in this age. He must have a long
perspective who sees the Civil War in
all it's phases; perhaps centuries will
have to pass before the full meaning
and effect of that conflict will appear.
