THE BIRTHDAY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON

Sunday Afternoon. February 21, 1897

Chaplain Oeneral of the "Rational Society Sons of tbe Kmerican IRevolution. •.Hbbress^^.

An anniversary is, in its purpose and intent, a monument. Men carve upon a day, as upon material bronze or marble, some great name or some historic event. But the same law which bids Time to crumble granite into dust, and wear away the inscription on memorial brass, holds sway even where an annually recurring day is deeply graven with some record which we try to make imperish- able. Some of the Emperors of Rome decreed that their birthdays should be celebrated while the world should stand. Yet in this closing decade of the nineteenth century, does any living man know or care on what day of the year a Nero, a Caligula, or a Vespasian, first saw the light of this world ? A few years ago, and this unchangeable law of history seemed to have half obliterated from the twenty-second of February the memory of Washington. True, in our almanacs the day was marked as that which gave to the world the Father of his Country. Here and there an individual might casually recall to mind the event connected with the day. In some communities it even secured a languid and unenthusiastic celebration. But so far as stirring the public heart to deeper patriotic emotion, or rousing the body politic to any emulation of the self-sacrificing spirit of George Washington, the twent^^-second of February might as well have been obliterated from the calendar. Sir Walter Scott has given deathless fame to the man who bore the name of "Old Mortality." Silently visiting the lonely and neglected grave-yards among the Scottish hills, that strange old man devoted his life to deepening the fast-fading epitaphs of the persecuted Covenanters. For the past decade or more, precisely similar has been the work wrought by loving hearts to revive the memories of our fathers of the Revolutionary period. Their splendid devotion to the cause of American freedom shines out in our popular literature. Their battles are commemorated. Monuments are erected over their graves, or on the spot where they gave their lives for their country. The birthday of Washington is no longer allowed to pass unnoticed. The children in our public schools reverently celebrate it with exercises, which deepen their sense of what the youngest of Americans owes to the Father of his Country, What has produced so marvellous a change ? What has ban- ished the cold indifference to our Revolutionary heroes, which a few years ago was the disgrace of our American citizenship ? What nas roused us from unpatriotic lethargy, and kindled the fires of a new love of country ? Far be it from me to disparage other causes than that which

seems to me the one potent above all others I The sources of great popular movements, like the sources of great rivers, are never simple, but complex. There are many reasons for this awakening of the American spirit. But rising high above all others, supreme as Mont Blanc among the Alps, is the organization into such patriotic societies as those which are assembled here — of the sons and the daughters of the men who fought at L,exington, who left the blood marks of their unshod feet upon the snows of Valley Forge, and won the glorious victory in the trenches of Yorktown. There are those who are inclined to sneer at such societies as ours. They charge us with a pride of ancestry out of harmony with Republican institutions. To such indictment we have a prompt and adequate reply. These societies, beyond all other causes, have been in the hands of God the instrumentality of a revival of the love of coimtry, which, less than one generation ago, was apparently dying out in the hearts of the American people. The cheap thing is the thing to which men become indifferent. Even the home in which one lives, with all its sacred associations, loses half its worth if it took no hard economies or grinding self- denials to lay its foundations and rear its roof-tree. And on that principle, we Americans love our country in exact proportion as we realize what sacrifices were freely offered by our Revolutionary sires to provide this magnificent heritage for their children. Have we of these societies done nothing to bring out from the shadows of the Past some revelation of what it cost to achieve the freedom we enjoy ? How comes it to pass that only within the last few years, have the sites of the minor struggles of the Revolution been identified, and marked with fitting monuments ? What influence is responsible for the fact that the graves of private soldiers have been searched out, and above their ashes the stone set up which tells the story of their heroism ? What mean the vast additions to our historic liter- ature of the Revolution, to which the last fifteen years have given birth ? Who are they who have unearthed the long buried treas- ures which had lain hidden in the archives of private families ? Who have gathered from hiding places in the garrets of New England or Virginia, or rescued from between the leaves of some old family Bible, the letters or the diaries, yellow with the hue of a hundred years, but revealing a story of patient suffering or heroic valor, which history had forgotten to record ? I say to you, my compatriots, that this work has been the achievement of only a few years past, and the stimulus which has urged it on has been imparted by the spirit of these societies. If these organizations of the descendants of the men of Seventy- Six had accomplished nothing more than to reveal to the American people what their liberties cost, these societies might perish to- morrow from the face of the earth, but they would not have lived in vain 1 Go a step further. The work of these associated Sons and Daughters of Revolutionary Ancestors has exerted a profound- ly conservative influence upon our country. Last summer, as I wandered through the Latin quarter of Paris, I came suddenly upon a conspicuous monument dominating the broad area where half a dozen thoroughfares emptied their streams '' of human life. And on the pedestal I read: To the meinory of Dantony

There, in the very heart of French civilization, and in this last decade of the nineteenth century, was a statue by which the French Republic gave glory to a historic monster, whose thirst for blood no guillotine could glut. Was it not, however, a fitting type of what a Republican system means to the Gallic mind ?

The average Frenchman identifies liberty with a revolution — of which a distinguished American statesman and scholar said the other day, that it led to "twenty years of ferocious war, millions of violent deaths, and billions of treasure flung into the gulfs of hate and greed." But let us not deceive ourselves. That peril is not confined tc France. The violence of the reaction from despotism, and from all monarchical institutions, is the inherent danger of a Republic. their When bonds imposed bj'^ regal or imperial power are burst asunder, it is but human for men to be carried to an extreme of in- dividualism. The old writer of the Book of Judges well character- ized the peril of Democratic institutions when he wrote: "In those days there was no King in the land. Every man did what was

' ' right in his own eyes. For us of this Republic that danger has been vastly aggravated by unrestricted immigration, and defective laws of naturalization. We are like the Hollander who cuts the dyke which alone keeps out the sea. We have flooded our American citizenship with the ignorance, the beggary, the restless discontent, and the impatience " of all restraint, which Europe has let loose upon us. They have broken the bonds, and cast away the cords" of King or Czar. To them American citizenship means the absence of law. American freedom is absolute license to do whatsoever the individual may please. Let me not be misunderstood. No man is more appreciative of what this country owes to some of its naturalized citizens, or is more warm in his welcome to the intelligent immigrant who seeks our shores, than is he in whose veins flows the blood of the men of the Revolution. Whatever others may remember or forget, he can not fail to recall the names of La Fayette and Steuben, of Stirling and De Kalb. But he will also be one who rates his citizenship at so high an estimate, that he will not brook an indiscriminate immi- gration which shall debauch the purity, degrade the dignity, and debilitate the strength of the government for which his fathers hazarded their "lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor." A descendant of Revolutionary progenitors cannot well be any- thing but "conservative," in the best and etymological sense of that much abused term. He is led to the study of his country's history by his hereditary interest in its founders. The intensity of Washington's conservatism, his profound reverence for historic pre- cedent, his veneration for the sacredness of law, made him the target of assault in his lifetime for those who saw in the French Republic the ideal pattern of self-government. They reviled him as an aristocrat, a monarchist, an abject imitator of British forms. The same charge was heaped upon Mason and Lee and Adams and Hamilton and Jay. Time has wrought its vindication. History has revealed the spirit of these immortal men, as those whose great strength lay in their power of resistance to that trend of human nature which carries popular revolutions into the gulf of lawless- ness and anarchy. For that very reason we who trace our ancestry to such men as these, cannot but create a conservative influence in American life. We study the character of our Revolutionary fathers, dwell upon their glorious deeds, and listen to their words — only to realize that if we would be worthy of them, our lives must be given to conserve everything which shall prevent liberty from degenerating into license, and which shall thwart the selfish individualism that sacri- fices the commonwealth to personal greed. Has it occurred to you to observe within what a recent period certain great movements toward a true patriotism have been devel- oped in our country ? Steadily, yet in spite of desperate opposition, our own generation has pushed to the front the principle of Wa.sh- ington's administration — that fitness for public trusts, rather than party fealty, is the only valid title to office. The tremendous struggle waged by patriotic men to rescue our great cities from the grasp of the worst elements of their popula- tion, is a conservative work, in line with the public policy of our earliest days. What is the triumph over ignorance achieved but a few days ago, when Congress passed a law forbidding illiterate immigration, but an effort to restore to American citizenship something of the dignity it possessed when Washington, and men of kindred spirit, made it a glory to bear the American name ? I beg 3'ou not to lose sight of the fact that all this quickening of the public conscience has been contemporaneous with the revival through these societies of the study of patriotism in the days of our Revolutionary fathers. I do not claim that we have originated or wrought these con- I that contributed to the servative reforms ; but do say we have beneficent result. That a new and unselfish patriotism has only begun to triumph in our country since these societies began their work, is more than a mere coincidence. In closing, may I say that I should be recreant to my duty, and false to the office that I hold, did I not add that the influence of these societies is a moral and religious influence. We meet for this memorial service upon a day sacred to Christian worship. The place where we assemble is consecrated to the service of Christ. The solemnities of praj^er prefaced our patriotic thought. The reading of God's Word gave the key-note to our enthusiasm for our country. The day, the environment, the nature of this service, conspire to proclaim that these societies are under the inspiration of a distinctively religious influence. Strange in- deed, and inexplicably inconsistent would it be, if such were not the case. With each one of us there has been a bringing back to life of some ancestor or ancestors of the Revolutionary period. Delving in old records, we have restored to our vision some conception of what sort of men they were. But such a restoration of their per- sonality must be not partial, but rounded, symmetrical, and com- plete. When out of the mists of four hundred years the caravels of Columbus were made to live again, they were restored in their entirety to the last detail. So when we make our Revolutionary ancestors to return to teach their children what sort of men they were, we cannot reveal their patriotism, yet eliminate their religion. With them the one was the complement of the other. I took up one day the quaint old records of a little Massachus- etts village. My patriotic pride was stirred as I read that my great grandfather, after serving his country in the French and Indian War, shouldered his musket, when past seventy years of age, and " " fought for his country's freedom as a minute-man at Lexington. But I was not surprised when the next paragraph recorded that he was a deacon of the village church, revered for the consistency of his piety. I venture to say that most of these descendants of heroic sires have met with like revelation of the Christian character of

their progenitors. It was the spirit of that age of American His- tory. In the Puritan meeting houses of New England, in the log cabins which the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of Pennsylvania reared for God's worship, and in the ancient churches of the Episcopalians of Virginia and the Carolinas, was nurtured that profound trust in God which enabled the heroes of that great struggle "to endure, as seeing Him who is invisible." Surely any society which seeks to bring forth and place before the eyes of a later generation, in a symmetrical and statuesque distinctness the men of that glorious epoch, will be faithless to its own duty if it do not thereby place itself squarely on the side of the religion of Jesus Christ. We celebrate the birthday of the Father of his Country, If we are true to our self-imposed task of portraying that greatest of Americans, as he really was, there are features which we may not leave out. We shall not forget that his letters, his public addresses, and even his military orders, frankly confessed his utter depend- ence for success upon the blessing of Almighty God. We shall not ignore the fact that he acknowledged the power of prayer, and asked the intercessions of his compatriots. We shall not shut our eyes to the convictions which made this statesman, warrior, and of Church ruler, a communicant and vestryman an Episcopal ; yet catholic-spirited enough to ask for the Supper of the Lord at the hands of a Presbyterian clergyman. Again I say, if these societies shall restore to this and later gen- erations a true conception of the majestic figure of George Wash- ington, they will exercise an influence as Christian as it is patriotic. The old Greek legend runs that when the ten years siege of Troy was ended, the victory was known in all Greece before the dawning of another day. On Mount Ida the watchmen kindled a blazing beacon. The next peak caught up the message in a glow of fire. Summit after summit, and island after island bridging the blue Egean, flashed the tidings on. On such a mountain height we kindle a beacon with each return of this anniversary. May the light be re-kindled in all the years to come of Americans unborn celebrate the ; may generations yet day

which gave Washington to mankind ! May the light of his ex- ample make this, while Time shall last, a people who shall fear

God, honor Law, and preserve Freedom on the Earth ! The following Records are arranged numerically, not alpha=

He was the Great Great Grandfather of N. A. McClary; Major in the first killed at the battle (Stark's) New Hampshire regiment ; of officer Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775 ; the highest American killed in that battle. On April 20, Andrew McClar}^ while plowing on his farm at Epsom, N. H., received news of the battle of Lexington. Within twenty-four hours he marched into Medford, Mass., seventy miles distant, at the head of eighty men, among them Capt. Cille}-, after- ward Gen. Cilley, Capt. Dearborn, afterward Colonel; alsoBartlett, Butler, Morrill, Gray, Sanborn, McGaflfey, Hilton and Michael McClary, all of whom soon afterwards received commissions as captains. Soon after the arrival at Medford, the first New Hampshire reg- iment was organized, of which John Stark was made colonel, and Andrew McClary, major. During the battle of Bunker Hill, this regiment occupied the post of honor at the extreme western extrem- ity of the American line, with no fortifications except a rail fence and a windrow of hay. When withdrawal became necessary, they covered the retreat of the American forces with the steadiness of veterans. After the retreat, observing a movement of the British on Bunker Hill, Major McClary reconnoitered them to see if they were coming out over the Neck. Finding that they intended to re- main where they were, he started to return to the main body of American troops, when a cannon ball from the British frigate, Glas- gow, struck and killed him instantly.
