On every tenth of May, for fortyfive years, a flower-laden procession has marched under the battleflag of three Confederacy from the Presbyterian Session House to that quiet corner of our old church yard, where the graves of many nameless heroee lie under the shadow of their memorial day shaft. The passing years have seen many changes in this faithful band. The battle-scarred banner of the 8th South Carolina fresh from the fields of victory and defeat, waved al first over a compact line of men in whose veins the vigor of youth still beat, though the booming cannon ol a victorious army still sounded their sinister warnings in their ears, and though they still could see their proud banners forced to the dust by a triumphant foe. Back of them came the wives and^ sweethearts whose treasures of heatr and hand support ed them as nobly in disaster as In the hours of trial on the battlefield. As time went on, the flag, with colors dimmed and threads worn with age, floated over a shinning band ol men, who graying heads and careworn faces showed their hard struggle against an adverse fatfe. Many a courageous woman, too, had fallen in this ruthless combat. But their children were taking their places, and with loving young hands were placing flowers on the graves of their country's dauntless warriors. Today, that tattered banner leads, like a sacrea ensign, me iuue [/?? cession that winds under the leafy shade of our old town to that calm resting place of smoaky of our bravest and best beloved. But, of the men who followed it so proudly into war, scarcely more than a dozen now tread with slow steps the pathway that it points. Of the hundreds that now swell the memorial ranks, only a few can remember when that flag flnng its fresh folds, whole and untarnished, on the breeze; only a few can recall the wild heart-throb of devotion that marked its progress on many a deadly battleground. The oldtime wives and sweethearts have passed on to their children and grandchildren the loving task of honoring their heroes. There is a tear-dimming sadness in watching that small band of veterans marching so confidently and loyally beneath their old colors?but there is a splendid hopefulness in looking at the earnest faces of the children, at the sweet freshness of the grandchildren of those faithful old soldiers. Where there no veterans to head our beautiful procession, their children an/1 holi< rhllHron 'b ohlldren would pay their tribute to the memory of their fathers, and would waft on the perfume of flowers and the wings of scu{, the incense of their homage to the generations of the future. It is this message of hope and trust that was brought to all on our last Melmorial Day, by our eloquent speaker, Mr. W. F. Stevenson.
