this? Surely this is a triumph 
greater than Gettysburg or the Wil- 
derness or even ‘Appomattox! 
sut though the external memo- 
ries of the war shall pass away, 
and ought to pass away, the mem- 
ory of the brav ery, the chivalry, the 
high-minded devotion to a great 
national ideal, and a mighty humili- 
tarian motive will never pass away, 
and the roster of the men who 
fought for liberty and justice and 
truth will not cease to be among 
the greatest assets, not only of 
America, but of humanity as well. 
“What the Civil war kindled in 
the hearts of mankind, and what 
the sorrows and sufferings of that 
epoch caused to be wrought into 
the experience of our nation, no one 
has yet adequately foreshadowed. 
“Here and there a stray glimpse 
into the inner life of that struggle 
has found its way into literature, 
but a hundred years hence, perhaps, 
when utterly dispassionate eves 
shall open these records and purely 
historical and _ disinterested novel- 
ists and historians shall pore over 
these lists and study out the rela- 
tions of things, the spiritual dignity 
and the moral heroisms which lie 
buried in these soldiers’ graves will 
be written, so that posterity can

read them with the wonder and 
the singular interest which even we 
of the generation born since the 
war cannot. 
“What we feel, when we go over 
the battlefields of Greece and Rome, 
the generations to come will feel 
when they pass among the graves 
of Arlington and through the monu- 
ments and memorials of the field 
at Gettysburg. 
“Greater than the guns and 
sabres they bore, and more brilliant 
than all the brilliant trappings of 
war shall be the lustre of their un- 
dying fame and the beauty of their 
alliance with the great moral ad- 
vance of humanity. 
“It is interesting, also, to reflect 
at this time that the soldiers of the 
Civil war did something more than 
merely rescue the Union and free 
the slave. We cannot but believe 
that they bore vicariously the sor- 
rows of many a struggle that would 
have come and bore in their own 
pains and hardships the birth-throes 
of a new epoch. 
“We cannot foresee what the 
century upon which we have just 
entered will bring forth, but I think 
we can say that for Americans, 
whatever it does bring forth, will 
always have something of the touch 
of honor and humanity, because 
though at times we may lower our 
standards, as we have since the 
Civil war, nevertheless there will 
always be for us the’ standard 
zauge of war-making. 
“The Emancipation Proclama- 
tion will always stare the future 
generations in the face and rebuke 
them if they seek to’enslave or op- 
press subject races. The volunteer 
soldier of the Civil war will always 
stand there a silent reproach to any 
ruler or leader who seeks to unduly
