assaulted. All art, all violence, all desperation, failed to dis- lodge them. Baffled, bruised, broken, their enemies recoiled, retired, and disappeared. Glory to God for this rescue ! But oh, the slain ! In the freshness and fulness of their young and manly life, with such sweet memories of father and mother, brother and sister, wife and children, maiden and friends, they died for us. From the coasts beneath the Eastern star, from the shores of Northern lakes and rivers, from the flowers of We...stern prairies, and from the homes of the Midway and the Border, they came here to die for us and for mankind. Alas, how little we can do for them ! We come with the humility of prayer, with the pathetic elo- quence of venerable wisdom, with the tender beauty of poetry, with v 3 plaintive harmony of music, with the honest tribute of our Chief Magistrate, and with all this honorable attend- ance : but our best hope is in thy blessing, O Lord, our God ! O Father, bless us 1 1 Bless the bereaved, whether present or absent ; bless our sick and wounded soldiers and sailors ; bless all our rulers and people ; bless our army and navy ; bless the efforts for the suppression of the rebellion ; and bless all the associations of this day and place and scene forever.
