n ent on earth and the righteous claims of God by every human being shall be reverently and lovingly recognized. Ultimately bloody wars will be impos-' sible, Men will dwell together In peace and harmony. Even nations will be more eager to build one another up in all that goes to make real national greatness than they have eyer been to tear one another down. Peace on earth and good will to all men" win be Inscribed on every banner and our old world so long tempest tossed shall be- come paradise regained. Then and cnly then will be fully realized how large and valuable a contribution was made by our heroes to the welfare not only of America but to the entire world and to the whole human race. There is no danger of appreciating them too highly. They merit all the esteem and recognition and honor and affection that we can bestow. Every time you look upon this graceful menu ment crowned with the form of a un- itn soldier, let it be a reminder of our heroes. Forget them not. Let us do all we can to make signant in actual life the holy principles for which they died.
