The bottom photo brought a tear to my eye. It tells us that the power of reconciliation is greater than the forces of hatred that divide man-kind and set brother against brother and nation against nation.
We might also add that this lesson seems to come more easily to eighty year-olds than it does to twenty year-olds.
At the battle of Gettysburg the average age of the combatants was twenty one. Fifty years after the great conflict we see two of the veterans at a Civil War reunion. Time and the love of God working in their hearts had taught them to beat their swords into plough-shares and to pledge allegiance to the flag of "One Nation Under God."
Jubilate.
