Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address by Samuel Appleton, Esq.: At the Dedication of the Soldiers' Monument, Southborough, Mass;, Jan; 1, 1867 We are met here to-day in memory of those whose dust is as sacred as that of kindred; to commemorate their deeds, and celebrate their virtues. The buried are now immortal. In honoring them, we honor ourselves. They need no mausoleum of earth, no cloud-piercing monument of stone, to do them honor. Eternity has sealed their witness to the truth, and unending ages will only serve to swell the measure of their greatness. We know that the hearts of a grateful people are the most secure depositories of distinguished merit. We know that no work of ours, no structure made with hands, which may not outlast the memory of man, can seek to prolong their remembrance. But we desire to show our own deep sense of obligations conferred; our admiration of patience under suffering, of heroic achievement, of enduring, hopeful, Christian patriotism.
