In the death gloom of gas the burst- ing shells and the rain of bullets men faced more intimately the great God over all; their souls aflame and con- sciousness expands and hearts are searched. ‘ With the din, of battle, the glow of conflict and the supreme trial of cour- age, come involuntarily the hurried appraisal of life and the contemp!a- tion of death's great mystery. On t threshold of eternity many a soldier I can well believe, wondered how his ebbing bleod would color tho stream of human life, flowing on after his sacrifice. » His patriotism was none less if he crated more than triumph of country; rather, it was greater if he hoped for a victory for all human Kind. Indeed, I revero that citizen whose confidence in the righteousness of his country inspired bellef that its triumph is the victory of humanity. This American soldier went forth to battle with no hatred for any people in the world, but hating war and hat- ing the purpose of every war for con- quest. He cherished our national rights and abhorred the threat of arm- ed domination; and in the maelstrom of destruction and suffering and death he fired his shot for liberation of the captive conscience of the world. In advancing toward his objective Was some where a thought of a world awakened; and we are hero to testify undying gratitude and reverence for that thought of a wider freedom On such an occesion’as this, amid such a scene, our thoughts alternated between defenders, living and defen- ders dead. A grateful republic will be worthy of them: both. Our’ part is to atone for the losses of heroic dead by making a better republic for the living. Sleeping in these hallowed grounds are thousands of Americans who have given their blood for the baptism of freedom and its maintenance, armed exponents of tho nation’s conscience. It is better and nobler for their deeds. Burial here fs rather more than a sign of the government's favor, it is a sug- Sestion of a tomb in the heart of the nation sorrowing for its noble dead.
