fore such sign will come. 1t is an American
occasion in a most peculiar sense. Other ma
tions celebrate birthdays and the memories OF
great men and great victories. But IN the
events of Memorial Day there is sentiment
which belongs to the American people ex-
clusively They do not merely recall period
of fraternal strife, but a day of reconciliation.
They are not only suggestive of what we nave
been willing to do and dare for the honor OF
our land and the eternal safety OF our repub-
lcan institutions, but of what we are dong
every day in peace and tranquil life as each
man sees his duty, to preserve in the world a
country where all men are equal ana under
equal laws of their own contrlving admins
tered by their own hands, live in accord and
work out practical results which no race can
duplicate and only they, themselves, excel.
