Memorial Day Orders and Programme
Proclamation.
ORDER NO. s.
AGAIN the warm Sping sun reminds
us that Memorial day, with its time
honored observance, Is near at hand.
For the twenty-third time since the
30th of May was designated for this
purpose by Comrade Logan, then COM
mander-in chief, it is our privilege to
render special homage to the mem
DRY of our comrades, who answer to
roll call on earth no more, to pledge
ourselves anew in united and solemn
chorus to the great principles for
which they died, and for the perpetu-
alton of which this mighty order is
now maintained. Let no graves be
unviSited, no comrade forgotten, and
as our children and chiltlren's children
shall ask, "W hat mean ye by this ser
vice." Let us point them to the sac
riiices of our comrads whom death has
mustered out" forever, and whose
devotion To duty made possible this
golden crea of our nation, which to-
day under one flag is marching ON to
its glorious destiny; a future assured
to this and the coming generations
by the conflicts and victories of the
period which this day rec alls and
signaliZes. Standing by these sacred
mounds let Us urge that never, while
the flowers shall wake to life; While
the released waters shall course flom
the mountains to the sea: While the
emancipated earth shall with each re-
green; shall these memorial services be
unperformed or the achievements they
celebrate be forgotten. Let the day
be in no manner diverted from It's true
purpose, bat let it be made to teach
to the fullest extent its great lesson of
patriotism. w. q. EEAZEY,
