MEMORIAL SERVICE
For PortIand's Defenders OF the
Union-Sermon by Rev. A. T. Dunn.


1t has been customary for years on the
Sunday preceding Memorial Day, for one
of the clergymen of the city, by invitation
from the Grand Army, to deliver sermon
commemorative of our defenders who gave
their lives for their country. This year the
service fell upon Memorial Day proper, and
Rev. Mr.. Dunn, of Free Street Baptist
Church, was the officiating clergyman. The
day was the first of the season which con-
tanned all the elements of summer, and the
pulpit and pulpit recess of the church were
appropriately decorated for the occasion.
In the rear of the pulpit. against the wall,
stood glory of flags, composed Of the ban
ners of Thatcher Post, G. A. R., and Shepley
Camp, S. of V. At either side of the pull
pit stood easels bearing the portraits of the
late Generals Mcclellan and Hancock,
draped with the national colors, and flank
ing these stood the elegant flags of Bos-
worth Post and the First Regiment Infantry,
NV. NJ The front of the pulpit was
draped with the red, white and blue, franz
ing the portrait of General Grant, which was
supported on either side by knapsacks, bear
ing rolled blankets, dependant from crossed
cavalry sabres. while in front OF the pulpit,
on either side, were stacks of muskets bear-
ing bugles and drums. The organ desk was
also draped with flags, and arms were piled
in its front. The body pews Of the house
were reserved for the comrades and the
front pews bore their guidons. Fragrant
flowers, judiciously distributed, lent their
beauty and perfume, and on the wall, on the
left of the chancel, under furled banner,
was the legend in large letters:

The Coming Struggle.

1t is not matter of surprise that
sentiment of uneasiness should prevail
throughout Europe as to the mainten-
ance of peace. On the other hand,
the wonders is that the Treaty of Ber-
lin should have survived SO long. The
principal business Of the different gov
ernments has been for years the train
ing Of soldiers. 1t is estimated that
there are now with the colors in Europe
very nearly 100000 of men, rather
more than per cent of the adult male
population. This tremendous arma-
ment forcbodes war. Recent estimates
show that Russia is spending 1925, OOo.-
oo0 a year on her army and navy;
France, 5000, 100000; Great Britain,
$3.50. 0.0O0,Oo0; Germany, 100000, 900;
Austria, $50, 900, 600; Italy, $50, 200. 600;
Turkey, Ss3o,OoO.0oO; Spain, $50, ooo.-
600. These Powers spend together the
enormous sum of SS45, 1000. 900 annual
ly in preparing for war. Can any one
believe that a faith manifesting itself
by such works as these can be mistaken?
There are S0O.O0O.OO0 arguments ad-
vanced each year in support of the
thesis that great European struggle is
imminent. Who can doubt it in the
face of such reasoning? This is the
logic that gives such signal significance
to the closing of the port of Batoum.
to the intrigues in Bulgaria, and to the
differences about the Afghan frontier.
The Old World is simply awaiting the
touch Of the torch to burst into con-
fiagration the like of which has not been
since the era of Bonaparte. The ma
tions have been making ready the ma
terials long enough; the time impends
when the blaze will roar and roll over
the continents Louis Republican.
