Comrades, we have met to-day in
of our dead comrades.
We think they know and fancy they
ave places in our memory.
These memorials are beautiful
ay of saying something about our I
cad comrades who have gone into
lie great beyond and we should not
)rget them.
We can drop a flower to their
emory and twine a garland of fond
brance on the trellis of COM
as Confederate soldiers and
ause for moment in the busy rush e
life and feel for the touch of c
lnished hand and listen for the t
und of voice that is still. O
We thank you, good Lord, for P
for the wonderous gift that
ock the gloom and despair of n
ath; for that strange power which n
ables us to summon from their 81 II
Mt halls the departed spirits of our t.
mrades and commune with them t
zee more.
As we stand under its magic spell,
w the past seems to live again;
w the dead shake off their shad-
rs, and how dear faces look out C.
spirit windows and loved forms Ii
;e to greet us from the still and OF
Useless dust. e(
We think the Lord for the desire m
remember our comrades who have sa
Dssed the great divide; for a COM hi
deship the ties of which death can Dc
t sever; for a comradeship bigger
d better than time; for the love
