The rearing of monuments seems a
natural suggestion OF the human mind
there is an end to life with all it,
duties ana enjoyment and unconscious
ly we look forward and feel responsi
be for the last tributes of respect to
those around Us even the roughesi
cheerfully assist and devote their con-
tributions to this end. The devoted
attachment which has always been
manifested to the soldier has been the
same in all countries. A good name
| is earned by "a mans own deeds, mol
| gained by inheritance or devise, SO we
| feel the debt to us in citizenship and
endowment of home and country secur-
| ed TO US by the heroes who were so en-
thusiastic in their love of it, and so
prodigal of their blood in defense OF
this Southland given US by Him, who
| made all things beautiful and good.
1t has been work without ceasing to
record in stone our brightest concep
tion of what makes the man, as we
knew the Confederate soldier to be and
TO manifest our aspiration for Right
in the world beyond. 1t is not
triumph's might, but the suiferings OF
Right that are craven deepest on the
chronicles of nations.
The work OF the respective commit
tees of the State Divisions of the t..
ID. e. is not known except by those
| who see il on record in our Minutes,
| which do not fall into the hands OF
the public In our last report Of the
monument work o., Virginia, we listed
rs monuments, AID there are ! more
in prospect, besides we have a number
OF memorial tablets, arches, pulpits
and memorial windows in various
churches throughout the State. To
accomplish this in so short a time
has been phenominal iu a country
desolated and impoverished by war.
1t is the first time in the history Of
the world that women has undertaken
such work that We have succeeded so
far is monument enough for US. we
need no other, and one and all ash
! that what would be devoted to a mon
ument to Confederate women (as pro-
posed) be given to Arlington. The
voiceless stone, in deathess song shall
tell-the story how We fell but II
also tells woman's love and guardian
ship of the fame, h h)nor and principles
for which they died.
There is grandeur in the grief that
calls us together on memorial days
when young and old, rich and poor
come with their myriad Of beautiful
flowers whose perfume mineles as
incense with the prayer and praise Of
tered to the God of Battles. The
tributes and incidents given in the
speeches on these occas ons would
alone add an interesting volume to
our literature.
"We have gathered the sacred dust,
OF the warriors true and tried,
Wholove the flag of our nations trust
And fell in the cause though lost still
just-cnd died for you and me.
