right triumphed so gloriously. (2) On
account of the results secured we ought
to revere the memory of the dead. The
union was preserved through their ex>
ertion. National greatness was sustained
and, men were bettered in their relative
conditions. The work thus accomplished
is far greater than appears at first : Not
only was freedom proclaimed to four
millions of human beings in physical
sense, but also the bands of ignorance
were broken and today we have greater
intelligence than ever before. The edu
eating influence of freedom and self
dependence is very marked, and this is
direct result of the issues of the war. 81
The memory of the dead soldier boys
should be kept fresh and bright on ac-
count of what they suffered. There came
a time in the history of the world when
justice demanded the sacrifice of many
lives, and there was one who came forth
from the glory of His father and Of
fered Himself as a substitute for the lives
os the many. We hold in dearest memory
the sutferings of Christ for the good of
many So was it when the principles of
our government were at stake, and when
either the life of the nation or the life of
man must 60 ont, the boys in blue went
forth and gave their lives for the preser-
walton of the nation They suffered as
few know. 1t was IN everything that
their life's blood was taken. The mother
weeping for her son, the wife mourning
for the loss of husband, the maiden
weeping over the death OF lover, the
sister in agony at the loss of brother, or
the daughter wailing that she will no
more behold the father. These things
should make us come and mingle our
tears with theirs, and give to them the
sympathy of loyal hearts, There suffer
ings and death have purchased for us the
priceless blood of freedom and genera
national prosperity. Everything call,
for this general expression of our mem
DRY of the nations dead.
Let US then strew the graves of the
loved ones with the flowers of love and
sympathy. Let US each one live so that
