Speakers had come and gone, they had deplored the space of 63 years that had elapsed before official recog- ion was made of the sacrifices and services of the sisters during the war. Lieut. Col. C.

Sherrill Pays Tribute. In accepting the monument for the Government, Col. Sherrill said in rt: P These members of 12 orders of nursing _sisters, by the devotion of their entire lives to unselfish service to humanity without any possibility of earthly reward or aggrandizement, always inspire a feeling of admira- tion in our hearts, tinged somewhat with sadness, perhaps, at the thought of the great sacrifices these women are called on to make in separating themselves for all their ltves from home, family and friends. “The impressive group of 12 figures on the face of this memorial,” he de- - Father McKenna began in 1832 his long and successful struggle to have removed the restrictions and rigid formalities surrounding the foundin, of Holy Name societies A clared, “representing each of the 12 orders of sisters who gave their splendid services, must necessarily have a lasting and deep significance to all those who come here through- reverence for the “exalted services and sacrifices of self here portrayed These 12 orders are also represented sisters seated here before us with ther superior seated in h group.

At each end of this memorial said Col. Sherrill, “are two signif cant figures —one, ‘The Angel of Peace,’ and the other, ‘The Embodi- ment of Patriotism.’ The lessons of these two symbolical figures cannot be too strongly impressed upon our countrymen and particularly upon the young men and women of our land. May the ‘Angel of Peace’ ever reign over this land and over all the world, but may it never reign to the exclusion of deep and lasting patri- otism, which, when the Nation is threatened, is ready to unsheath the sword and thus maintain in suprem- acy the benign influence of ‘The An- gel of Peace’ throughout our beloved country.” Notables Are Speakers.
