Erected crosses;
So many souls,

And ne’er forget
What’s beneath the cross.
Thank you, dear Lord,
For the brave who gave—
Who now occupy

INCENTIVE TO FORGIVE
General Oglethorpe once said to John Wesley, "I never forgive and I never forget." To which Wesley replied, "Then, Sir, I hope you never sin."
