BARRlNGION.

The Memorial Day discourse delivered
by the Rev. John w. Colweu in the Bar
rington Congregational church last Sun
day was a notable one, and has been
warmly commended by all who heard it.
Mr.. Colwell took his text from Exodus
l2:14-" This day shall be unto you
memorial"
5 sin these words'' said he In substance
God communicated to his people
through their great lawgiver His Will
from bondage In Egypt. 1t was great
day. A day of such mighty events accom-.
panied By tokens OF the devine love could
not be suffered to lose its hold upon the
memory of the people.
1T is but obedience to the promptings
of gratitude which lead us to set apart
days sacred to the hallowed Offices Of
memory. The church and the State
calendar have days which are marked
sacred days, glad days, days that are
memorials to us.
Memorial Day has for us as a people
deep significance. How much it speaks
TO us of divine goodness manifested to
this nation In the time of its sore need
"When we think Of the oppressed set
free; OF the foul blot of slavery erased
from the national escutcheon; of the pros
perity Of this great and happy country
secured to us by loyal men who barred
their breasts TO the bullets of the enemy,
tens of thousands whom ''sleep the sleep
that no knows no waking" till the arch
angels trumpet shall call on the earth
ana sea to give up their dead-when the
conflict with its hopes and fears, defeats
and victories, its toll and blood, tears and
final triumphs rises before us-then are
we ready to hallow this memorial season
by surrounding it with all the sacred
memories of Gods day and by making 1t
n reminder that we must take up patient
ly and bravely the work God gives us as
ment and complete. so far as we are able,
that which has been transmitted to us as
"a sacred trust the duty OF keeping this
nation true TO the high principles which
animated the hearts OF the founders OF
1920, the fathers Of 1776 and the preservers
of 1861.
"Tbe Rev. DIR. Parkhurst has said it is
as much Christian duty to go the polls
on election day as to the communion
table on Sunday; decency is too often
afraid OF catching cold aud piety doesn't
like to get its feet wet. / wish / could
get the national flag into every church in
the land The old Hebrews did not dis
sociate religion ana patriotism and
neither should we. So shall we best love
and honor our dead by doing our living
duty.
Guarding with jealous eye the ines
timable blessings of this free, prosperous
and happy Iand and stirring ever for
the maintenance of moral principles in
public affairs we must watch and fight,
work aud pray for the best interests of
The country, the whole country, and
nothing but the country"
