No nation can be great when its people forget
their traditions. Those who forget the giories
CT the pact have no thought OF making glorious
future country whose heroes are forgot is
country lost On the other hand people whose
hearts st!l beat more rapidly with the thought
Of great deeds Of the past, who reverence the
fathers and consistently do honor to their memory
is a people still virile, still alive Such men
and women live in the present and look to the
future because to them there is that III the past
to SUR them on. TO encourage them and 10
enasarteu them to believe that what has boen
done by their own blood be done by them.
Moreover. memories Of this kind soften US,
make us more human and more sentimental In
world OF hard. practical facts. It is we'll for us
in our rush toward success. In our efforts to
create material prosperity and to build with
brick ana stone to pause occasionally TO think
and dream OF the higher things TO remember
those who offered UP their lives for principal
or who fought through war and its even more ter
rible aftermath for a sentiment 1t does US no
harm to live In the past for awhile 10 recall the

engaged In the everlasting struggle of making

achievements, It has time TO welcome and to
welcome heartily and with gladness noble band
of women who have assumed eagerly the labor
Of love Of perpetuating the traditions of half q
century ago and who meeting here now TO
discuss plans for more and better work and
To remind those Of younger generation Of the
debt they owe to a noble. brave and selfsacrifeng
ancestry and to help them enjoy TO the fullest
the heritage OF honor left them with the debt
Richmond has entertained many conventions
in the past and win entertain many more in
the future, bur the welcome II extends to the
annual convention OF the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy is a welcome unmixed with any
seihsh thought Richmond has been glad to have
ether conventions meet here for the material
benefits to be derived from their stay as well
as because her people possess an inherited hos
ritaIity, but the benefits 1t hopes to derive from
the meeting OF the daughters of the gray heroes
of '6l-65 are spiritual rather than material and
IT is glad of their presence for what it can
give as well as for what 1t will receive.
