General Order, No. 4.
! Once more the revolution of the
months brings Us near TO the day ap-
pointed Tor grateful nation to honor the
graves of Its heroic dead, dey dearer to
each comrades heart than all others In
The calendar of the Grand Army. In
| obedience not only to regulations, but to
the impulses of hearts teeming with
| precious memories, Thursday, May 30,
Will be properly observed as Memorial
Day by each post In this department in
communicating the deeds OF our fallen
comrades. As in the past. so let us now
prepare to perform the sacred duties Of
the day, that the memory OF our dead
comrades may be held in ever increasing
honor, and that the cause to which, in the
hour oi peril, they devoted their lives, on
land and sea, may continue to grow In
glory and renown.
10 commemorate the services and
death of our fallen comrades is an obli-
CATION which all the people owe to the
dtieGders oil the republic. They per-
formed their duty faithfully and well;
aud while the people enjoy the fruits OF
their ctories let them not forget their
OBLIGATION to the nations honored dead
To the Grand Army OF the Repuolic
the Observance of Memorial Day arises
to the dignity OF duty. 1t is sad,
sweet duty we owe to those "whose ties
with us were welded in the fires of
battle"
The time will come when all personal
grief growing ut OF the death OF those
who fought in the civil war to maintain
The national Unis II shall cease, but never
while humanity remains faithful to Its
destiny will the achieve ments of the
Union soldiers be forgotten. Their deeds
OF Nalor and herolsm will increase as the
ages roll on. Let us, there fore, strew
with flowers the graves of our dead conf
rades, not as a memorial of their death,
but In thanksgiving to God for the exam
Pile OF their heroic lives, and as an in
spiratlon to coming generations.
On that day, as we assemble in the
silent camping grounds OF our dad, to
garland their graves with springs bright
est noWers, and again raise above them
the flag their valor saw, d from dlshonor,
let us also remember that great army of
heroes who sleep in unnumbered but not
forgotten graves, in the tangled tlicket, on
the rocky mountain side, or by the stream
| wber, they iell.
AMI as we recall their tolls, their suf-
ferings and their heroism, let us renew
our pledges of fraternity toward each
other; OF charity for the widows and or
phans they have lett as sacred charge
upon nations gratitude, and of loyalty
to our country and to our glorious flag,
beneath whose TO DIS every Union soldiers
grave is an altar Of patriotism.
It Is recommended that, In accordance
with established custom, posts repair 10
some place OF Divine worship on the
Sunday next preceding Memorial Day, to
dnite in solemn praise and thanksgiving
to God. By command Of

pa' question before the = -hlch
has cauhed much trouble III urch
Tor several years and IL whether or not
colored delegates shall sit In &C cleslas ical
bOuies. Several yeafs ago some Episco-
pal clergy men organized missions for col
ored people, This denomination became
popular among the better class of colored
people and many became enthusiastic
Episcopaliane.
Tbose mlssi us grew rapidly and soon
required regular rectOrs. White ministers
were employ ed at first, but four years ego
~. Marks cu'ored conprel alton OF
Charleston, called colOred rector At
the ffst meeting Of the convention he
presented himself s n clerical member.
The lay delegates disapproved his taking
Dis .eat by right OF lis ordainment as All
Episcopal priest. Bishop Howe ruled
otherwise aud the clergy sustained him.
SO the cOloIed member took his scat aud
participated In tie work, despite the
anger oi the laymcn.
Last year three colored members ap-
pearrd. The laymen objected; the bishop
ruled as bc'orc, whcreupon two clergy
men and all the laymtn seceded from
convention. A commission was appoint
cd TO d, vice plan ior harmony, to he
preeertod TO the convention which meets
Tomorrow. This commission rtcon-
mcnds compromise VIII ch will admit
such colorcd clergymen who have been
In connection With the church for one
year, and separate convOcatlon for
colortd churches under the admnlstra-
lion OF the bishop. No provision is made
lor admission OF colored lay delegates.
Several colored churches have refused to
accept compromise aud the report will
probably be rejected. The situation is
terioue, anu may cause no end OF trouble
in the church. 1t may be taken before
the General Convention OF this church Of
