He first addressed the people in German, and then in English, in which he specially emphasized the glorious benefit of motherly love, and in view of this he unveiled the stone, which is a beautiful work of art, and is the best, on the Lutheran section. It stands about 12 feet high, and is of rich Italian marble. The monument was fitted up by Mr. Satchwell, of Knight's Marble Works, Gayndah road, and the workmanship does him great credit.
