Extract from letter dated April 4th, 1864, to Hon. A. G. Hodges of Frankfort, Ky. — "Now, at the end of three years' struggle, the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man, devised or expected. God alone can claim it; whither it is tending seems plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the North, as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new causes to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God," — A.

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is tramping out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightnings of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. I have read a fiery gospel, writ in rows of burnished steel; "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you My grace shall deal; Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel; Since God is marching on." In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make them free While God is marching on. SOLDIERS' CHORUS (From Faust) Who needs bidding to dare by a trumpet blown, Who lacks pity to spare when the field is won? Who would fly from a foe if alone or last And boast he was true as cowards might do, when peril is past. Chorus: Glory and love to the men of old Their sons may copy their virtues bold Courage in heart and sword in hand Yes ready to fight or ready to die For Father-land. Now home again we come, the long and fiery strife of battle over, Rest is pleasant after toil as hard as ours beneath a stranger sun, Many a maiden fair is waiting here to greet her truant soldier lover, And many a heart will fail and brow grow pale To hear the tale of cruel peril he has run. We are at home, we are at home, we are at home. Chorus: AULD LANG SYNE Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to min'? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And the days of Auld Lang Syne? Chorus — For Auld Lang Syne, my boys, For Auld Lang Syne, We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne. And here's a hand, my trusty friend, And gie's a hand o' thine, And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, For Auld Lang Syne. Chorus— For Auld Lang Syne. OFFICERS OF THE COMMANDERY 1910-1911 Major W. D.
