Then came the First Regiment, Ma

race leading It's members In every land
TO seek to perpetuate the memory OF
events or of persons by the erection
OF buildings OF stone. These strue
lures have often been rude and sim
pie. consisting frequently OF single
stone. When God renewed to jacob
the promise which He had given to
ALBANIAN, the Patriarch erected pillar
OF stone to commemorate the occasion
When Jacob made covenant with
Laban stone marked the place and
gave a lasting witness to the event
So did Jacob mark the place called
Bethel, and when Jordan was passed
the Children of Israel set up great
stones and plasterd them with plaster
to mark the spot. 1t was this same
instinct which led everywhere to the
erection of monuments of stone OF
some kind which should bear enduring
witness to the lives of men.

How carefully. and with what pains
