the members of Perry Post will satisfy
themselves by a careful inquiry into the
facts as to where the responsibility rests. 1t
is bad enough that a church should refuse
the privilege of the sanctuary to any of its
members, but to put such a slight upon one
of the Nations defenders-why that is some
thing indescribably barbarous and brutal.

to pension under general law, it would
deprive thousands who are not likely to
survive to that age of its benefits. IF any
general pension law is enacted, they insist
it should be framed with view to relieving
those who are in need of immediate help,
and not these who, by reason of unimpaired
health and their ability to earn livelihood,
may live to the advanced age of sixty years.

COMMANDER M. V. B. KENNEDY, of Haz-
lett Post, GAINESVILLE, Ohio, concludes a

recent letter to THE TRIBUNE as follows:
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE makes better Grand
Army men of those Of our Order who read it and
makes Grand Army men of old soldiers who do
not belong to the Order, but who thus become
acquainted with it. bear hearty testimony to its
efficiency as an auxiliary to the Grand Army work
by the aid have received from il during the past
year in which time Hazett Post, No 81 has almost
qtudrupted its membership-has grown from I13 to
49, comrades Comrade John S. Rountz, our Past
Department Commander, writes me- in letter of
congratulaton, that 'sths record has never before
been equaled by any Post, either in this or any
other Department of the Grand Army"
This is in accord with the testimony of
our comrades generally. Whatever may be
The TRIBUNE's shortcomings, it has not
failed to arouse among our ex-soldiers such
an interest in the Grand Army as never
before was witnessed in the history of the
Order, and it has been the means of draw
ing to that noble organization thousands of
veterans who, but for its ardent appeals,
must have remained Indifferent to the
claims of comradeship, if not In absolute
ignorance of their value. We trust, indeed,
that the day will yet come when every sur
wing soldier and sailor who is eligible to
membership will be be enrolled in the ranks
of the Grand Army, and certainly so long as
single veteran remains outside the fold
there will be work for TIE TRIBUNE to do.
