LANIER’S MEMORIAL ADDRESS
On April 2fi, 1870 Sidney La
nier delivered the Memorial Day
address in Rose Hill cemetery,
Macon, Ga. Excerpts from this
follow;
“in such an age as ours, how
extraordinary was the stately
grandeur of those noble figures
that arose and moved in splendid
procession across the theatre of
our Confederate war. Look with
me down the long temple of his
tory and I will single you out two
figures, wherewith 1 am willing
that my beloved land shall front
the world, and front all time, as
bright, magnificent exemplars of
stateliness. Mark them. Wheth
er their swords gleamed in the
hottest smoke of the front of
battle, or their peaceful hands
waved from the professor’s
chair, stately always; stately in
victory, stately in defeat, stately
in solitude, stately in society,
stately in form, in soul in, char
acter, and in action; aye each of
them. ‘From spur to plume, a
star of tournament.’
“Doyou not know them? One
is stately in life; the other lies
stately in death. There they
stand, high reaching, eternal
sculptured images of stateliness,
in the sight of all the nations.
Glory has set but a simple in
scription upon them. It is the
same inscription which love has
written on every heart in this
land. On one, Robert E. Lee,
and on the other, Stonewall Jack
son. 1 know not a deeper ques
tion in our Southern life, at this
present time, than how we shall
bear our load of wrong and in
jury with the calmness and tran
quil dignity that become men
and women who would be great
in misfortune,in this place where
we now stand, in the midst ol
departed heroes who fo u g h t
against these things to death.
Why yonder lies my brilliant
friend Lamar, and yonder genial
Robert Smith; and yonder gener
ous Tracy—gallant men, all;goou
knights and stainless gentlemen
How calmly they sleep in the
midst of it. Unto this calmness
shall we come at last. If so, why
should we disquiet our souls foi
the petty stings of our conquer
ors? There comes a time when
conqueror and conquered shall
alike descend into the grave.
In that time, 0 my countrymen,
in that time the conqueror shall
be ashamed of Ins lasli, and tti
conquered shall be proud of his
calm endurance; in that time the
conqueror shall hide his f ace,and
the conquered shall lift ms near
with an exultation in his Iran
quil fortitude which God sliai
surely pardon. Today we an
here for love and not for hale.
Today we are here for ha-monj
and not for discard. Tod ty we
will not disturb the pcaceiu
slumbers of these sleepers with
music less sweet than the sere
nade of loving rememberances,
breathing upon our hearts as the
winds of heaven breathe upon
these swaying leaves upon us.
They exhale from these graves
to meet and greet the fragrance
of your flowers.
“My countrywomen, these
men, who have gone into the si
lent land—these men also have
their memories of the war which I
they have carried with them, j
1 speak for them when 1 thank
you for this annual tribute ox lin
early glories of the spring which [
you bring to lay upon their!
graves. One day ye shall wit-|
ness for yourselves, in acclama
tions of gratitude, how ye re
member, the gracious hearts, the
brave characters, the stand -s
-eyes, radiant smiles and the
tender fingers of the women who
glorified and sanctified the
Southern Confederacy.’’

ISAIAH COMFORTS
AN AFFLICTED PEOPLE
T.ESSON TEXT—lsaiah
GOI.DEN TEXT—God I* our refuge and
strength, a very present help in trouble. —
Psalm 46:1.
“Comfort ye, comfort yc my
people, saith the Lord,” knowing as
He alone can the great heart sob
of sorrow, pain, and disappointment
which arises to Him from His
people everywhere. No study of
God’s Word which omits His tender
word of comfort is in any sense com
plete. No teacher or preacher who
fails to bring that message to his
people Is declaring the full counsel
of God. No more appropriate pas-
I sage could be chosen for presenting ,
that truth than Isaiah 40.
The prophet spoke to a people who
were experiencing the bitter treat
ment of their enemies. They were
facing the devastation of their coun
try and the deportation of its people
into captivity. In such a desperate
day one might say that there could
be no true word of comfort, but
there was, and that word may well
encourage us to look up in this our
confusing day. The Comforter of
Israel is ready to be our comforter.
I. The Source of Comfort (w. 1-5).
“God is our refuge and strength”
(Ps. 46:1). “Behold your God” (Isa.
40:9). "Comfort ye, saith your God”
(v. 1). He is “the God of all com
fort” (II Cor. 1:3). The astonishing
thing is that mankind is so prone !
to seek comfort elsewhere, turning
to God only when everything else :
fails rather than going to Hjm first
of all.
His comfort is abiding, for it rests
on a removal of the source of all
pain and sorrow, namely sin. The
day of Judah’s comfort is to come
when her "iniquity is pardoned”
(v. 2). That is also the first step
for us to take in seeking comfort,
to repent and forsake our sin, seek
ing pardon in Christ.
The one who brings us God’s com
fort is Jesus Christ. Verses 3 to 5
speak of His coming. John the Bap
tist was the voice and it was Jesus
for whom the way was to be pre
pared (see Luke 3:4-6). Jesus is
the Lord Jehovah, God Himself, the
Son of God, and the bringer of God’s
comfort to men’s troubled hearts.
It is He who is revealed in this pas
sage in all of His glory and grace.
11. The Need of Comfort (vv. 6-8).
Man thinks he is great, wise, pow
erful and able to take care of him
self. William Henley expressed it in
his "Invictus,”
"1 am the master of njy fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
But God says, "Man is as grass,”
and declares that when "the spirit
of the Lord blowoth*’ on him he
fades and withers. We know that
God’s witness is true. Boast as he
will in the hour of prosperity and
strength, man knows in his heart
that when lie faces the real issues
of life he is utterly impotent, needy
and undone. Gerald MasSey spoke
more truly than William Henley
when he said,
“Surrounded by unnumbered foes
Against my sou) thp battle goes!”
The man who has come to the end
of himself and who realizes that
there is neither in him nor in his
fellow mortals the strength to meet
life’s struggles is ready for the min
istry of God in Christ, forgiving,
cleansing, strengthening and com
forting. He has come to realize that
“the grass withereth, the flower fad
eth, but the word of our God shall
stand forever” (v. 8).
111. The Way of Comfort (vv. 9-11).
Good tidings were proclaimed
even in that dark hour of Judah’s
history. We have good tidings for
our day as well. Let us declare
them from the mountaintops. Lift
up your voice with strength and do
not be afraid! Here is something!
to shout about, “Behold your God!”
The prophet’s holy enthusiasm had
two excellent grounds. First, he
tells us that God is strong. He “will
come with strong hand, and his arm
shall rule for him.” Here is com
fort with assurance because God is
1 strong. He is also loving and ten
i der. His strong arm is used to gath
( er the lambs to His bosom and to
1 tenderly lead His sheep. Gentleness
j is the attribute not of weakness but
i of strength. God's strong men and
: women are His gentlemen and gen
tlewomen. They, like their Lord, are
loving and kind, using their strength
not to destroy or to impress others,
but to help the weak, io bring com
fort in the name of Christ.
Faith of the Future
The faith of the future, like the
faith of the present and the faith of
the past, will in its essence be sim
-1 pie. It will be faith in the goodness
i of things—faith that the world is
governed for good.—Sir Francis
! Younghusband.
Everlasting Light
The sun shall be no more thy light
by day; neither for brightness shall
the moon give light unto thee; but
the Lord shall be unto thee an ever
lasting light, and thy God thy glory.
—lsaiah 60:19.
