SUNDAY
The exercises of Memorial day began
last evening at Christ church. Phil
hearney post, G. A. r. attended that
sanctuary in a body, and were addressed
by Rev. DR., Dorsett, rector. The post
occupied enough of the front rows to
accommodate that organization and
back of them the seats were all taken by
the ladies and gentlemen of our city.
The usnel Sunday evening services of
the church were first disposed of and
then came the r%ector's address. He
chose for his subject something not
found IN holy writ, the motto of our
country-'tE lPIuri6us Unum.' Upon
this topic DIR. Dorsett delivered one of
the most scholarly dlscourses ever lis
tened to by a Yankton a%udience-a
discourse full Of the patriot
ism of a philosophical Ameri-
can citizen and one clothed in
thoughts and words and expressions of
sublime beauty. 1t was a masterpiece
OF literary %eloquence and was listened to
with rapt attention by the audience.
