This Is tho dav of dnvs for Coot Henri- H. Melits. For It he has thought by day I and dreamed by night, ami wrought In I loth, and we do honor to him ns well as ourselves by this large and represents-' tlve gathering and the enthusiastic spirit' that Is In evidence. May the generous donor of this benutl-' fill monument live yet many moons to re turn to this place which has more charm for him than any other spot on the earth, to gaze upon this monument, mingle with Ms surviving comrades In bltto nbout the campllre, renew his fellowship with the people of Hlghgate and enjoy the beauties of the-e glorious hills of tills grand edd Green Mountain State.

It Is not to honor 1 1 . - - splcinlM, cotiragroui., hcte.le and : c!f--aerifcng uieti whose namos ar- Inscribed upon this monument. Tlu-y need no honor- -.t our hands. They have higher and grander honors than we can give them. Most of them are already encamped upon Heaven's great paraelo-Kround. They are nun t hing to the sound of cele-tlnl mu-lc, and lespondlng to the directions of the Gn at CommandiT. They, with their sur viving comrades, are crowned with the victory of right over wrong. What then Is the; meaning of this day, this minium -tit, this gathering? It Is sim ply this. To catch the spirit of thee noble nnd devoted men. nnd to keep and show It when occasion require. Tho glory eif our nation has ever been In Its patriotic spirit. This flamed forth In the wry beginning of our history, when we were n very feeble folk nn1 without nny orranli'e.i e. It was the spirit ot me obi New Hampshire Grants and the early Republic ot Vermont. It wns the spirit of the Revolutionary War, which Issued In the freedom and liberty of our conn- ! try. 1 shall never forget the Impression in-iile upon my mind some years ng.. when I fir-t visited and climbed up Hun ker Hill mnniiuiint. I saw those two little- cannon, so small tb.it they looked as though I could pick them up In my nrms and carry them away with me I real the stati'ine-nt that the-v were the only eniinnn that our foreiathers had when they began war with the best e-itulpped nation In the world, and I asked myself, "How did they ever win?" And tho nnswer eame back In almost audible, woids. "They wero Invincible because of ihe-ir heroic spirit." PROVED Et'ROPE IN ERROR. When our Civil War broke out tho politicians of Europo volunteered the opinion that the old heroic spirit had eMipui.Ued nnd that the men uf tho great northern nnd western Stntes . 11 red for nothing except money. Hut when by tin, hundred of thousands, patriotic fathers, sons and brothers, b ft their plemghn and anvils, and looms, nnd counting rooms, and bemhes, nnd law and doctors' offices, ind pulpits am stores nnd camps nnd mines to enrry tho musket and welld the sword: when fathers parted from tholr fnmilles, husbands from tholr wives, lovers from their sweethearts, and sons from their mothers, nnd wlped the tears of affection from their chenks to face grim vlsnged war: and when our American mothers, Ood bless them nnd help us 10 glvo them their rightful plncn n the history of tho nation's struggles for liberty, sent tholr darling sons to tho front, with tho Injunction of tho Spartan mother 'of old, "To return with your shield, or on your shield," then It wns that the European guessers 'omul that the Amorlcnns cared more for tho eaglo on tho dollar than they did for the dollar Itsnlf. It wnu that heroic spirit of loyalty to an Ideal, loyalty to the thought of n united republic, standing for liberty nnd progress, that kept all the stars In tho llnR, a result for which nil Intelligent men, North nnd South, Enst and West, thnnk God to-day, Tho nplrlt of tho Civil War Inspires ovory putrlotlo soul amonff us to-day, SECTIONAL BPIRIT DEAD, We had n glorious exhibition of this In our recent Spanish-American War, No ether cry could havo awakened such en thusiasm throughout our country i" was arou.ind by tho cry of distress from Cuba, asking the United Btatee to glvo It Uborty iiiid free Institutions.
