TrHntham, by request, April 12th, 1901 : A ftfw public spirited citizens of Camden, noting the fact that our community is rich in historic, mate rial, and realizing with pain that ??? t if tic has been done, and practically nothing by the present generation, to save ho precious a n inheritance from oblivion. lasuod recenlly a cull for n meeting of such us felt inter ested in organizing a historical so oiety for Camden and Koo-hnw coun ty. In response to that call, quite it number of ladies and gentlemen an stmbled at this place on .the evening 4t( April 4th. A temporary organiza Hon waa Effected, thono present div cussed informally tho scope, mngni tude and impoitance of tho work In short took counsel toyetl er. sp pointed a commit'ce t<? draft a con fltitutlon and by laws, and ad j, turned to meet again this evening to com plete tl>e organization of the ffcclrtv I ?y the adoption of a constitution ?n<l by laws, tho election of ( Ulcers, Ac Jiy tho kindness of those prcs< n> atthofirat meeting. I was in w? deliver nn address this evening on the purposes and opportunities ot the society. The purpose is to pre serve In enduring form the fads on which our history is based, that sue ceedmg generations may know w!io passed before U em and what wan done by them. Th\ difficulty of nc compliahing this wo^k Iuih been in crcascd, sb tho years have pome and gone, by the death of witnosnes, the loga of material Ac ? the result, I might way, of indifference and the lack of effort. Hat much may yet be done., nlthough tho chances of securing accurately und preserving facts are diminishing with the lapse of time. If we would accomplish re sults, if we would prove ourselves the eqnala, not tho inferiors, of our predocoasora ? show ourselves to be worthy representatives of the proud race from which we are sprung, tr^rncw without nayinir, that wo must ho about tbe work that confronts us A family, a people, a stato is re apected, grown and becomes grcut, that chortahea their dead, and com memorates in song and story, if not in imperishable records, their worthy deeds. This is true of all enlighten ^d and progressive nations, and in *' proportion as they arc enlightened and progressive. It is necessary for mankind to have ideals. Without ideals, there oould bo no progress; and without records thcro can bo no ideals. There is much about the Now Eng landers that la worthy of admiration. We have our great namoa, and tho great achievement a of our mon and women all along down tho lino fjotn the coming of the firat settlera to the prenout time, as tho N< w Enplan* dors have. Rutthoy have written t hoi r history and pro^crved their trarli lions. Wo havo not dono flo. We know our own history vory Impor feotiy.
