Communicated
Decoration Day at Lehighton.

Our quiet town has for once risen from
its slumbers, and like her sister and
neighboring towns, observed Decoration
Day with appropriate exercises. For
the last seven or eight years this day
was allowed to pass by without any
such exercises, which are now so gener-
ally observed all over the country.
Students of history, and those veterans
who were in line on Saturday, know
well the trials and sufferings of soldier
life, they also have better idea of the
curse of slavery, as it then existed, and
probably a fuller appreciation of the
results of the war than our citizens in
general have. The rights of slavery
were founded on insufficient grounds
and certain writer has said that "the air
OF this country is too pure for slave to
breathe" Slavery has at all times been
the child of ignorance and the mother of
superstition. Our heroes, therefore,
fought for a noble cause, and risked
their lives for the emancipation of these
more unfortunate human beings. Can
we, who stayed at home and did our
fighting in our parlors, now pass the
graves of our fallen heroes on this day
without showing in some way our appre-
citation for their services in that struggle.
Judging from the turnout on Saturday
there are few in this town whose
sympathy is not with the soldier. Before
the hour of parading, people flocked into
town from the surrounding villages and
townships so that by the time of parad-
ing our town was well filed with people.
All our Sunday schools, our surviving
soldiers and some of our private citizens
not connected with any of the schools
were in line, which was headed by the
Arion Cornet Band. The march was
up Bank st. to Pumpkin Alley, up said
alley to Second St., down Second st. to
Ochre, and then west on Ochre st. to
the cemetery. The exercises at the
cemetery, ,on account of rain which COM
menced to fall by this time, were cur
tailed.
After the firing of salute, Rev. o.
X. Cook offered short but very appro-
pirate prayer. He was followed by Rev.
&. w. Gross, who favored the audience
with an excellent address. The Rev.
gentleman is veteran of the war, and
this fact, taken in connection with his
address, shows that he is a patriotic and
deep-hearted man. After music by the
band, on account of the unfavorable
weather, the exercises were brought TO
close. Much credit is due to all those
who took part in the getting up of this
demonstration, and by whose suggestion
and direction the exercises were mainly
gotten up. The writer of these random
thoughts hopes that hereafter when
Decoration Day comes, Lehi9hton may
have exercises appropriate for the oc-
casion. II. A. c.

A Floral FestivaI.

On Sunday evening, May 81, the Re-
formed and Lutheran Sunday school OF
Weissport celebrated its floral festival.
After the church was filled to its utmost
the exercises of the evening began by
the "Song of Welcome, (which was rem
dered very creditably by the school.
The most prominent feature of the
exercises was the singing by the school
and by the choir of the church. Allow
me to say at this iuncture, that the
music rendered by school and choir
was pertinent to the occasion, and we'll
executed under the efficient leadership
of the organist, Miss Emma Klstler. ..;
Addresses, appropriate to the occa-
sion were made by Rev. o. P. Steckel
and Mr.. Frank Snyder. The former in
the course of his address said: "When
VIC study the flowers or the vegetable
kingdom in their relation to man, the
head and climax of nature, we may get
to the knowledge of their significance
and worth. We cannot doubt that there
is not an ultimate and specific design in
Gods universal creation. All the king
dom below man, the animal, vegetable
and mineral find their true significance
in their relation to man, as subservient
to his physical, intellectual and moral
welfare; lessons of almost infinite value
are spread out before us to be read, if
happily We have eyes to see; voices of
the most profound intent are filling the
vast orb of nature, to be heard, if hap
PLY we have ears to hear. BY searching
we may find to understand
Tongues in trees; books In the running
brooks;
Sermons In stones, and good In everything" :"
"Who is there that cannot find in
struction and inspiration in the beauty
and lovliness of the rose, an emblem of
purity and innocence. Who is not
charmed by the almost endless variety
of floral color which addresses the see
ing eye on every hillside, in every glen
and valley. Yes, the language of nature
speaks to the preceptive soul of man
through her forms and colors of end
less variety-the mysterious powers of
which no one can fully fathom. May
we not be truly lifted from nature to
natures God by contemplating some of
the beauties of the natural creation; may
not our hearts be kindled with a holier
zeal by the very presence of God speak
ing through these exquisite manifesto
tions. Do not the flowers minister to
the higher wants and powers of the
soul?" The speaker after speaking of
the important function of the beautiful
as an element in culture as well as re-
ligion, concluded by directing the minds
of his hearers to Jesus Christ, who is
the great and perfect eXempler of the
Good, the True and the Beautiful.
After the singing of an anthem by the
choir the people departed peacefully to
their homes, each saying to himself, it
was good that | was here. The men,
bers of the Reformed and Lutheran
Sunday school can feel highly encour-
aged on account of the grand success of
their. festival, inasmuch as it was the
first of the kind ever celebrated.
