HoNoRINa THE DEAD.

Last Sunday evening the Opera House
in this city was filed completely by oui
best citizens TO listen to the memorial
sermon before Wilkin Post G. A. r., by
Rev. Mr.. Grossly, of Winnebago City.
The spacious dress circle and the gallery
were occupied early in the evening, the
parquet being reserved for the members
of the Post, who marched IN in body.
The seats in the parquet not occupied
by them were soon filed by citizens.
Services were abandoned IN all the
churches, and the several pastors as
sembled on the stage to assist in the SER
vice. A fine quartette choir composed
of Misses Hutchinson and Richardson
and Messrs. Brett and Bromley, with
Miss Robb as pianist, provided the mu-
sic in excellent style. The discourse
was an able one fraught with new and
logical ideas, the speaker taking the
ground that war is morally and religious
ly wrong, and contrary to the best i'm
pulses of civilized minds. He did not,
however, underrate the import
ance of the contest in which he
and others fought and suffered,
for their country's safety. and paid all
possible tribute to the memory of those
who were left on the field. He talked
from experience III relation to the re-
bellion, and made lasting impression
upon the minds of his hearers in
demonstrating his points of argument.
