MEMORIAL SEBvIcEs.-The Congregational
Church was closely filled last evening to hear
the annual memorial sermon, which was
preached by DIR. Dwinell. The members of
Sumner Post, Grand Army of the Republic,
attended in body, dressed in uniform. DIR.
| Dwinell took for his text Psalms cxliv, Il !:
. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which
teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to
| fight; my goddess and my fortress; my
| high tower and my deliverer my shield and
He in whom 1 trust" The discourse was
principally directed to the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. After open
ing his subject he said: You and the other
soldiers of the armies have saved this coun-
| try in the eXtr, nifty of war-a necessary war,
a righteous war on her part. You went into
| the struggle Of last resort for her preserva-
| ton; you and others with you, measured
courage, muscle, endurance, proves, re-
sources and the field furthest off from the
natural fellowship with God, with the in
ternal enemies of the Union, and God was
with you. He was with you in the cause.
BE was with you to befriend you and now if,
having turned from the scenes of war, you
shall serve him in the ways of his natural
sympathy, you will have his abundant grace
He has helped you in the field most unlike
himself, he certainly will help you when you
come into the field of bis special fellowship.
