1--WE will not live IN the past but the
past shall live in us" So spoke Rev.
DR. Finley who delivered one of the
addresses on the occasion Of the Davis
Centennial at Richmond, and were
words ever better chosen To uniuely
impress great and useful lesson?
The past is dead but dear and though
dead still speaks TO Us. We are no
longer lighting but we are not going to
forget the "boys" who did the fight
ing. We have furled our flags but we
are not going 10 forget the hearts that
loved them and the hands that de
Tended them. We have been for forty
and more years loyal to a restored
union, but we are not going to forget
ihat Tor four years we had little Con-
iederacy of our own at W hose shrine
we were won't 10 worship with more
than Southern devotion, and for whose
lie we freely offered our own. awe

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

We never write nor speak the name
of Jefferson Davis without feeling
akin TO reverence, not that he was
more nor less than human, not that
he was faultless, not that he did not
make mistakes, not that he was not
at times moved by passion and at
others the victim ofprejudce, but that
he bore in his own body, as it were,
and we write il reverently, the sins Of
the COnfederacy if sins it committed

suffered behind prison bars and felt the
weight Of calling chains. He alone
was unfOrgiven. lie, the foremost
citizen Of the nation, alone was denied
the rights Of citizenship. lie alone
was most misunderstood and misrep-
resented. lie alone was fired upon
after the flags had been furled. Upon
his devoted head the vials of wrath
continued to pour. or him alone the
enemy has never spoken a kindly
word. Upon his grave no flower has
ever been placed save by those who
loved him while he lived and honor
his memory now that he is dead |
And we cannot build the monuments |

words of the prosecuted one. Read
them and get new glimpses of the
glory Of the man, the God likeness of
the man:
