In, his address this afternoon, among
other things. Rev. Mr. Batten said:
Our past Is glorious and it la secure.
Our future Is unknown, but we face It
with brave hearts. We rejoice In the herit
age that la ours. We rejoice in the flag that
has never known a stain. We accept this
heritage that has been purchased by tears
and blood as a aarred trust. We lift up our
hands In holy resolv to keep that flag
from any dkfhonor.
There Is room In our land for white
men and black men, for Saxon born and
Latin born; but there Is no room In our
land for plotter and anarchists. There
ts shelter beneath our flag for the poor
and oppressed of every nation, but there
Is no shelter beneath that flag for the ty
rant and slave driver.
Our fathers wrought nobly In their day:
they solved the problems that confronted
them In grave and reverent spirit. Wa
must work no lesa nobly In our day; we
muKt have a spirit no less reverent and
heroic. Th American Idea Is a heroic
Idea and It calls for a breed of heroic
souls, for a. generation of brave-sou led,
large-minded and great-hearted men; for
great, heroic, hopeful men who fear Ood
and love one another.
Men of the Grand Army of the Republic,
you have given ua a aplendtd Interpreta
tion of our American Idea. You have taught
ua the meaning of c:tisnaiilp and of pa
triotism. You have tolled that every a tar
might forever keep ita place in our glorious
flag. You have taught us how to love
that flag and guard It from all dishonor.
