“In God’s deep glens and forest 
aisles they lie. Their graves are 
strewn with grasses green and flow- 
ers gay. Each  purpling summer 
day God’s clinging vines fall over 
them, and when the autumn’s frost 
hath splashed the leaves with blood 
and gold, the forest trees then drop 
their wreaths upon their  billowy 
graves, while to the music of God’s 
winds the weeping vines, the sob- 
bing vines, the mournful elms, 
sound out their solemn requiem. 
There let God’s heroes lie till the 
last trump shall sound.’ 
“It is said that we who were 
born after the war cannot appre- 
ciate the work of the Grand Army, 
but we have seen the results and 
have read history and we know 
that secession and slavery were 
blind sisters who led each other 
and both fell into the ditch. We 
know the insane attempt of the 
South to break away from _ the 
Union was as suicidal as “twould 
be for our earth to break from the 
solar system and wander alone in 
winter and eternal night. 
“Had the war for the Union 
failed we should have had a score 
of rival republics in North America. 
We would have had standing armies 
and opposing tariff laws and slavery 
would have made our brothers 
aliens from the commonwealth of

civilization, the scorn and contempt

“The men of the South were 
skilled in military science. The 
army of the North was made up of 
farmers and merchants and profes- 
sional men and boys, and they were 
transformed into soldiers on the 
field. For two long years the issue 
was very doubtful. Washing- 
ton was in peril. England and 
France stood ready to recognize the 
Confederacy if they won a single 
great victory. Lincoln was ad- 
vised by Greely and others to re- 
sign, but after Gettysburg he went 
again to his knees and said we will 
hold on a little longer. Grant was 
discovered. Sherman marched to the 
sea. Sick men enlisted. Wounded 
men went again to the front against 
surgeons’ orders and the greatest 
hero of the Civil war, the common 
soldier, ‘held on’ with ‘Father Abra- 
ham’ and moved forward until Ap- 
pomattox dawned, and then gen- 
erals and colonels and commanders 
became farmers and shop-keepers, 
manufacturers and preachers again, 
and the long war.passed away like 
the storm of the last three days. 
“Since the war with Spain which 
united our whole land and bound us 
again to England, we have acquired 
colossal wealth. We have become 
a great world power and put our 
hand to the plow in the Orient, 
where we dare not look back. We 
believe there is a divine purpose in 
all this and that God means we shall 
play a part in the christianization of 
the Asiaic consciousness, which is 
the great problem of this new cen- 
tury. 
“We have no outward foes to 
fear. Our foes are all of our own 
household. Vice and crime and low 
ideals, which measure success by 
money only, are too common 
among us. The worst corruption is 
often where there is the smallest 
per cent. of foreign population, so 
we cannot lay our dangers to immi- 
gration any longer. 
“Wealth is yellow and vulgar in 
the house of mirth. Business is to 
a considerable extent dishonest, and 
politics too often is a business in the 
hands of boodlers and bosses who 
would sell the Christ himself for the 
market price in Judas’s time. We 
have ‘good men’ who are indifferent 
and callous, good for nothing in 
civic life. Columbia is calling for 
a new kind of patriotism, that which 
will be as true and unselfish now as 
our fathers were in “61, that which 
will stand on the firing line of good 
citizenship, and meet the gold in- 
toxicated traitors who would de- 
stroy our democratic institutions.”
