Joe Shelby Camp 975, United Confederate Veterans, Chickasha, Okla., Jan. 1, 1912. - A My Dear Old Comrades Wherever They May be, Greeting: hea My Dear Comrades: The whole too civilized world .w.ith the dawn of the New Year is looking forward with a renewed energy, refreshing zeal and euq a motto of advancing prosperity. 1' Every heart should thrill with a spirit of an onward march to greater and better things, looking to the fu- poture as the new epoch in the up- **'? building of fallen man to a higher plain of life. Every home in this WtU favored land should wield a spirit of ri*k devotion to Him who doeth all u*11' things well. While it is true the dark shadows of poverty is prevalent mi in sections of this fair land, but the V same Divine power that governs all abo men still extends the baud of pro- ^ tection to all the earth. Yes, my w ? comrades, as the yearaccme and'go v and only to serve as a gentle re- sutf minder?simply for nothing more? jjjj" you would be amply paid. When we look through the back- boti ward mist of time to ponder over era< lost opportunities what must we do? Must we pine away in sadness? Oh no. My dtar comrades, turn ask your head toward the towering hills and of a mighty people shake the dust of depravity from your feet and ^ show to the world that the old Con- atai iedernte soldier still holds the scale t??v of citizen soldiery. The struggle in your national life wer is the one link in the chain that has nub broken. But as the sun rules the ?"- ! day and the moon governs the night so man shall govern his passion and Drl teach a lesson of peace and good will to all men. 1 The wealth of a nation grows in Shi proportion to the desires of men and qui yet it is true all men are not en- W\ dowed with the same desires. Lack citi of ambition, lack of energy in the rep diligent pursuits of life never chase rec the wolf from the door. Morality fro and the God given graces of earth's &h greatest influence and availing op- poi portunities bring peace and happiness to every threshold of this great nation. Fame and ambition should be the .1 guiding star of every pedestrian of ^ this proud America, Let us grow or, in the experience of all that is pure For and good that the Angels in heaven may rejoice. ^ Yes, my comrades, when in thikl zenith of manhoo^-yon bared breast to leaden hail, but day, 1912, you should stand as a non-combatant enwrapped with the 1 loving kindness of God's wisdom bug and mercy. Your day of the hu cou man tide of greatneBS has ebbed and Sta flowed far beyond the midday sun his of your allotted time. Ian When you marched with I^ee and we? Stonewall Jackson you were the to ] pride of this great southland, but gist today the civilized world stands in for amazing wonder at the soldier citi- coh zen of this fair Dixie land. But remember, my comrades, that the mountain breeze has wafted gently in t< by. The morning sun has shed his ^ * soft rays of delight on and over the ?y i splendor of its noonday and down Htre the evening shades of approaching cho night and while the king of day is foIji hiding away beneath the shadows of a the distant horizon God is still ; spreading the wings of love and af- ,. fection about you. The old year V" has passed into history with its sor- ^ rows and joys, shortcomings, disap-j 1 pointments and lost opportunities, p And while it is true you have passed another mile post of father time and It be riot forgetful to realize that we t(\y are at peace with all the world and to know we can rejoice with our crol fellow man in the pleasures of the mor year 1912. l'ha Oh yes, my comrades, how swiftly the days go by. Youth, manhood Alt and age has overtaken you but be 1 nnf /liamaro/1 f^r\r\ V? ^ Vi.o.iiujvu, wuu m nairblllllK *jy day and by night. God blees you I all. Geo. G.
