tellsyou of victories on sea and land which history crownswith lustrous and unfading glory, which our proudState tells over as among her priceless jewels, whichchildren and children yet unborn shall learn and tellto others with heightening cheeks and brightened eyes.Let us never say — we, sons of the weaver, the car-penter and the fisherman—that the day of small thingsis to be despised; that the lowly and plain conditionof our fathers is to be forgotten, or that anything forwhich they cared or which they preferred is not worthyof us. Let us take it in reverence and honor, andplace it on high as one of the proudest decorations ofthis great hall; and let it remain there so long as thisState House shall stand, a memorial of the Pilgrim,his privations and simplicity; an emblem significant ofthe hardiness, courage and faith of those who dare anddefy the seas, and daily telling of the great and sur-passing glories of Massachusetts and her sons. ft ft »ftCOft l> H w
