The following address on "The
objects and opportunities of thf
Historical Society of (J* inden" w ??<?
delivered by lion. W. I). 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
