In its day Milledgeville has enjoyed the honor of entertaining distinguish—
j ed gatherings, Hack yor.der in the olden, golden days the men who map-
( ;>cd oul the destiny of nation and state assembled here to do it. The old
j houses here, now fast going to decay, sheltered statesmen and jurists ol
j world wide prominence. In the dim past, where so many of those who per-
I sist in being pessimists, declare lived all the saints and sages, councils were
held here and the foundations ot our stable governments were laid and the
very laws of the city of today had their origin. Milledgeville has been
doubly favored in this respect in thore glorious days.
Hut a new day has come. A new assembly has gathered here. A
new work, more bright today than ever, old, yet forever new, has been
launched with greater force. The hands that rule the world have demonst
rated their supremacy in coping with conditions cf today at Home and
abroad The Woman's Foreign Missionary Conference held during the past
week has been decidedly the greatest gathering Milledgeville has ever
| known in all its histoiy of grandeur and of triumph. The two hundred
workers who met here might have a poet to write the story of their accom
plishment and the famous charge ol the Light Brigade would lade into in
significance and the poern immortalizing “the wild ride they made” would
dwindle into oblivion.
Mortal tongue cannot tell the story, mortal hand cannot pen the poem.
Maybe up yonder beyond the skies where angelic anthems are heard and
golden words are recorded on priceless parchment the new peom may be
found. Though they gathered as foreign missionary workers and the writer
is the lover of home, the greatest and most sacred place on earth, still there
conus an idea that such work cannot radiate Irom any place without the
place it eminates Irom being benefited. Consequently this missionary work
reaching out into other lands must surely have a tendency to broaden life, to
increase charity at home, to extend a helping hand to the fallen around us,
to hind neighbors closer in friendship and in the end work for the good of all
that ideal state we all so much crave, when man shall co-operate with man
and life shall be made one grand sweet song, when existence shall lose its
harshness, when the future shall be filled full of splendor end we shall win
the goal for which we stmgglc and realize one grand, unbaflled, boundless
ti iumph.
The Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society i*3 already a great organ za
lion It is destined lo become much greater, lor as the days and years slip
by tlu-ir numbers will increase and their inlluence will grow. And when n
is remembered that this magnificent body of women who gathered here arc-
only a small portion of the great army ol workers then one may form a con
eeption of the wonderful work this organization may accomplish within a
very few years. In norlh and south, east and west, the same spirit is being
manifested and it will grow and grow until it arrays .itself in one irrepressi
ble power against which not even the mighty walls ol the sin of the world
can stand.
From the woman of today and of the future the world must derive its
blessings in the days to be. Men are engrossed too much in commercial hie
to give that same unselfish and untiring devotion to the gentler and the
higher life that pays its dividends in satisfaction, in happiness, in love antj at
list the crowning glory over on the other shore. Milledgeville needs women
woikers, the state of Georgia needs them, the world needa them. So in our
humble way we’ll give 'em support whe \evcr we can, wherever we can. and
bid them God speed in their task,

The curtain rose April 12, 1831 to the
orchestra of booming cannon in Charles
ton harbor. After a bloodless bom bard
ment, Major Andersen, the Federal
commander, lowered the Stars and
Stripes. It was a fer-cry from Sumter
to Appomattox, and neither side dream
ed the struggle would be ot such du
ration—as well they might, had they
considered the powers of resistance of
the American people.
The call to arms came clearard swift.
The North woke to the call to “Save
the Union.” The South buckled on the
munimentsof war. The flower of her sons
responded—the sons of those who had
fought with Jackson at New Orleans,
had driven back Santa Anna at Buena
Vista, and scaled the heights of Cheru-
busco with Taylor and Jefferson Davis
when the Massachusetts regiment re
fused to go.
There was no hesitation. The mother,
as the Spartan mother, bade her son
return with his shield, or upon it. With
husband and son given a.s a sacrifice to
the Moloch of War, she turned to sup
ply the sinews of defense at home.
