Following Ia a portion Of Rev. J. c.
Smiths address, delivered on Decoration
Day
'Thirty days have elapsed since the
eyes II the entire nation turned toward
the great metropolis of our country. Mul-
tiolied thousands assembled there to COM
memorate the centennial of one OF the
most important events that bad ever oc-
Cured ia the history Of this, then very
small nation. One century since the shil
of state started peacefully bat doubttully
upon It's WAY. o der nations were laugh
ing IN their sleeve az our wild adventure.
Certainly the outlook was not very replete
with encourage ment.
we viii let the history Of the century
az it has gone by, let the sixty millions
/ Of voices as they echo from lake to gulf,
and from ocean TO ocean, answer when We
INQUIRE whether that adventure was a
failure. We boast ourselves OF success to-
dav. But the present success has not been
attained without many struggles.
at has indeed been a question worthy
/ Of serious consideration, more than once,
whether or not, our nations days were
nearly numbered. Dangers have been
encountered. From these conflicts the ma
tom has come forth strengthened by the
effort and encouraged by the victory Onl
national sun shines brighter to day, and
our banner, grOssing as the yeals 20 by,
I floats more proudly in the breeze over the
world 1t large than It ever did IN the past
1.-THE assembling Of the multtudes to-
dav In the various cities OF the dead, DOLE
North and South, remind Us that the re
suits of some Of these struggles have not
vet nassed from the minds of the living
/ Ii was a noble patriotism which led you,
nv eountrymen, TO march side by side end
offer your lives upon the altar OF your
country. A quarter Of century has gone
by. Your conduct now convinces us thai
/ the wears as they die strengthen, rathel
than weaker, the ties that bind the hvlng
to the dead.
1--WE can scarcely force from our mind;
the thoughts Of other years. The actions
riveted these things upon your minds, and
what histor has truth'ully written we
/ cannot erase. True enough; there was
/ Manassas. a Vicksburg, Missionary Ridge,
a Gettvsburg, Shermau's march to the
~, a campaign in the Wilderness, a Libby
and An Audersonville, with al the horrors
That attach to these places, a. well as
patersburc and a Richmond. The history
these places has been written in suffer
inc and blood Why should we light
these battles over sgain? The world mas
learned that we sre a nation one and IN
sepqrable. But even the picture OF war Is
tinged with brightness.
"The work of settling for ages the worth
Of the Constitution by which We are gov
erned was a work of no small importance.
( Though designed at first for about
tbres millions, it has been found equally
sofScient for the guidance and protection
of sixty millions OF people. Yea more than
that. that every State and every indlvid
ual under this COnstitu ion Is granted the
same and equal rights "
The most important elements which Ell
ter into the foundation upon which every
National Republic must stand, viz: A
Christian Sabbath, a CHRISTIAN religion, a
sacredly protected home, free speech,
Tree school and free ballot, must never
be taken from MS, otherwise our national
greatness has fallen.
