Page 207 - Arkansas Confederate Women

182 Confederate Women of Arkansas

consecrated their loyalty, but hardly a single visible mark stands

today to give evidence of the appreciation of their countrymen.

Now, it is proposed to declare to the people of the world the
South's unbounded admiration for our Confederate mothers.

Without the fierce passions of the conflict to sustain her,
with no hope of fame or glory as the reward of great deeds nob-
ly done; but prompted only by patriotism and a deep devotion
to her country's cause, she suffered in silence more than tongue

can tell, and accomplished as much as to entitle her to be
held as the dearest of all our memories.' Let's build these monu-

ments grand, inspiring and beautiful; let's have every line of
them breathe tenderness and devotion; let's erect them out
among the trees amid the grass and the flowers in our most
beautiful public places. Let every Southern heart be glad be*

cause we are about to do this honor to the Southern women of

war times; let the hand of every Southerner reach forth gener-
ously to make his willing contribution to this fund.

3. Robert Edward Lee.
