Ihr Eiarhargr-llnnnrahln ' My HE emergency is over. A great task has been ifinished. Civilization has been saved. ,And now a grateful republic is returning the victorious heroes of a sanguine strite to deserved and coveted peace and rest and the busy quiet of civilian life. Y V I - - . . n Likewise, o11e by one, it 1h litting the burdens of care and responsibil- ity from the faithful shoulders ot those stalwart figures who have, through the years, fought civilization's battles of peace, have guided its thought, and have nurtured its institutions from promise to achievement-l'rom seed time to harvest. Of that valiant band who have thus stood as outposts in the no-man's-land between the hosts ot ignorance, inetfeeiency, and sordid life on one side and the dauntless crusaders of a new philosophy, a line idealism, and the living of life at level best on the other, Ur. John Williston Cook has been a conspicuous member. What shall be an adequate reward for a lifetime of wise, fruitful, selt-saeri- ficing service? Not money, nor chattels, nor monuments of stone, nor any other material things, for they are all temporary and must perish from the earth. But the noblest reward is a 1ll01lllll10HiJ 'not made with hands? Such an enduring n1onu1ne11t is builded, in the hearts of grateful men, women, and children. Its foundation is respect and the recognition oi' service. its shaft, pointing' toward the 'eternal verities,' is builded of the solid and imperishable masonry of gratitude, admiration, and affection, and its inscription is For Justice tlllll Humanity. With such monuments reared in a million hearts, instead of the Distinguished Service Medal, le Crois de Guerre, and the Congressional Medal of Honor, John Williston Cook is hereby discharged, not from the service of his country, but from the obligations and burdens and onerous duties such devoted service has for a halt-century pressed upon him. . May he continue to the end as he has lived in the past-the great apostle of love, law, truth, service, and freedom. S. J. XTAUGHN, lst Lieut., Sanitary Corps, U. SQ A. 1 I Page Tlnrteen
