A large and sppreciatiye audience
gathered In the Academy Of Music yes
terday afternoon to hear the concert aud
lecture under the auspices OF Grart Post,
No 10, G A. r. On the stage was seated
a choir composed OF members Of all tue
Catholic choiIs Ia the city II was under
the direction Of L. B. Preston OF st.
paurs Church choir Professor WIN 5.
Brown was aceompanist The singing
was good especially that Of w Harry
Geary.
The lecturer. Rev. William J. Der
mingham was gracefully introduced by
Professor Moses Wei, commanderof Grant
Post and as the lecturer stepped on the
stage he was greeted with deafening APP
plause His address was entitled The
Vslor of tae American Soldier. He
paid q fitting tribute to the heroes of past
ages and then turned to the American
soldier. he said Ia part concerning the
civil " +;
1.-THE memory Of that contest is the
sorce Of unuttersble pain and yet Of IN
speakable joy. You remember that April
morning long ago when the dauntless
Lilcoln called for volunteers TO put
do wn the rebellion. The spirit of Bunker
Hill vas aroused. Industry ceased.
Music Of mirth changed to the martial
music Of drums, and temper
good byes forever Every city and state
was sending forth its best children for
/ the defence Of the Union, and Delaware
troops were In the van. Who will forget
Williamsburg and One armed Phil
/ How shall / recall the battle Of Fair
| Oaks, Gainess Mill, Savage Station,
Peach Orchard Malvern Hill and Ante
tam7 There was a victory and defeat
on every one OF these battle fields, but
every battle was won by American sol
diers.
''The blood stains have all been washed
away by the dews and rains from
Heaven and from the baptism of fire and
blood liberty was resurrected. She rose
holding an olive branch over the blood
cemented Union. The North and the
South had learned to respect each other
Until the foul blot of slavery had been
washed out In blood liberty was only
partially realized, and true union OF
states was impossible There Is no truer
friend to America than the Catholic
Church. She Is the mother Of liberty
1t has been said that we Catholics are
rot true Americans. That cannot be true
when the mother who taught us to wor
ship God taught us the love Of freedom
Ignorance has said that II the Pope
said overthrow the American Union the
Catholics were bound to obey. The Pope
never had the right, has not now Al {
never will have a right to command it's
overthrow This is our country. we have
no other This great. Republic is God'i
greatest blessing to man In civil order
Considering lhese things our hearts over
flow with Joy o, Lord God, bless proteo
