y r ADDRESS TO RED MEN
r . - OF SALUDA COUNTY
-i ?
-* Mr. H. H. Blease accepted the invi^tion
to be the speaker at the Red
Men's picnic at Good Hope church in
wfiuda county, on last Friday. There
f" were about 300 people present and
't> rv-n ixro c an Pflinvahlp One.
^ WB v^vasiuu it uu ^ ?
' Mp. Blease spoke upon the principles
of the order, namely, Freedom,
Friendship and Charity and in discusi
0 sing^ie principles of Freedom, the
following is a synopsis of what he
.^aid concerning the present war:
* Indies and Gentlemen: ?
. 1 am pleased to have the pleasure
% S o? ?#|p.kmg to you and my brother
v.' Red-Men of Good-Hope No. 63. The
great tenets of our beloved order
aire Freedom, Friendship and CharAny
organization living up to
ic worthy of
V CAancu .w .
t?e best and truest consideration of
k ??ch and every community in this
P . great state and nation of ours. This
j.* is an opportune time for us to tali
I ? about freedom. We are all thinking
I. and- talking of the most gigantic and
W iar reaching war that has been waged
7 , on this old globe of ours.
J .1 might speak at length concernIing
the cause of the war. However,
* I deem such a course unwise and un
ic immgtonni whether
11? j* xl xo xiuuumvva ? > ? ? ?
,*swe approve of the war or or whether
-/vve approve of the wisdom of the Gov
^frnment to select our soldiers by
draft. The fact is that we are at war,
and that our youg men have been
drawn. It is your business, and mine,
"Bfow to do everything possible in our
B power to conserve our men morally
^ and physically, and to exert all our
^ergy to cause our military forces,
rboth on land and sea, and I should
?ay in the air above us and the fearth
beneath us, to be successful. This is
time for halting and quibbling. It
' ? is no time for asking and answering
I xL
i ^questions. It is pflWJlf time for say>
* ^ig this or that thing ought, or should
"^ave been done. You and I have no
\ time. It is your duty and mine to
act, act promptly, act positively, act
intelligently in obedience to the
voice of our Government, which has
\epoken through the National Congress
and the great Executive of our
x ^Nation.
On -one occasion, the great teacher,
Savior of all men, was asked a
qug&ion. Beflore -answering the
v > question he called for a penny. After
. ,?xamining""this penny, He said "Rente
f d^r unto Ceasar the things which are
V Ceasar's." I understand this to teach
L In this day, which day is yours and
BL "''^mine, that it is the duty of every perJ
son to render obedience unto the law3
of his State and Nation. I say his;
I mean hers as well. The question
"naturally arises: How can I do this?
k The short and simple answer is. for
every man and woman to do faitbf*?
fully, and honestly, that which he or j
she can do to advance the interest of J
i every one. It is the time when we
> * should forget selfishness; it is the
ttime when we should not think of
partisanship; it is the time when we1
should not think of political prefer-'
ment; but every one should do every
:V1 ~ nn r com
fk thing possiuie IXF aumuv.
imon interests. It is the time when j
^re all should strive to do the obscure j
things, if ve are best fitted or not,'
if we cannot do the prominent thing '
we should do the obscure thing, looking
not to the present for our reward, I
hut realising and understandig that If
wm digchfirze faithfully, as hum-j
"ble Christians, the duty that is de-j
1 Tolved upon us, the reward that is I
offered us will be Touchsafed us at;
Wf that great and final day.
I I said at the out-set that it was lmto
us what caused this war.
I have heard numbers and various,1
B opinions in reference thereto. What-!
Hk ever may be the cause, I believe this
Bfljjgf I
to be true, that it is now necessary %
