nary pleasant remembrances connect
"a with the work in the past year
here are some things to make us
thoughtful if not sad. Many of our
comrades who were with US last year
have left us-not on furlough to
come back in few days, not deserted
ncr dishonorably discharged, but fall
en- with their faces to the foe, full of
wounds and honors. We will cherish
their memory and will deck their new
made resting places with the spring
lowers. when the solemn and beauti-
full services of Memorial day shall re-
cur. True to our mission let us bind
no the broken hearts of their flowed
oneS left behind, and seek to stay their
grief aud minister to their needs. There
IS a related thought that brings with it
tinge Of sadness, namely, so far as
members are concerned our order has

Comrades; The rapid fight of time
has brought US to this. our 18th annu-
al encampment. How quickly the years
speed by. When we were young they
seemed to move with all the proverbial
slowness and vexatious delays with
which the mule teams crcpt along with
the Cracker line bearing hard tack
to the hungry boys in blue. But now
they rush along with the ever in
creasing speed of the lightning ex-
press over the lines of steel. We may
cry. Backward turn backward. oh
time in your flight" but our call is un-
Needed. and our backward look is only
q memory. The sacred trust and honor
which your generous suffrages con-
fcrred on me one year ago | now re-
turn to you. l trust, undimmed and I'M
furnished. Conscious of imperfections
l have tried to discharge faithfully
and impartially the duties of this com
