What They Represent.
But pause by these stones and see
for what they stand. They speak OF
manly courage. of the heroes Of the
past They stand for true patriotism,
that which is willing to die for coun-
try. They speak of magnanimity and
fraternity.
The Present Need.
The need of the present is for a
revival of these same virtues of cour-
age to do right, of that patriotism
which will make graft and corruption
impossible, and of that magnanimity
and fraternity which treats all men as
brothers.
AS long as these stones speak to us
of these virtues our country will be
