COLUMBUS DAY.
HOW HARRISBURG CELEBRATES,

AIIl6flcd Dy christopher COluIn-
bus is as grand an event in all it
implies as the great discovery
itself. What a colossal stride in
christianity and civilization, =
science and education and de-
yelopment.- from Oct. u, 1892,
to Oct. 1921, 1892 All the great
orations and writings and ser
mons of the day can not fully
express the blessings conferred
by the discovery of America. 1t
is as if God had kept back this
continent for a new order of
things which the old could never
have tolerated or sustained: A
refuge for the poor and the per-
secuted,-the temple of art and
science and invention,-a grand
cathedral amid the walls of
oceans for the praise, honor and
glory of God forever. The mag
nitude of the celebration is the
living voice of God speaking
through His people. The learn
ed and the unlearned, the rich
and the poor,-men of all politi-
cal opinions and religious beliefs,
join together in honoring Column
bus and giving glory to God; the
children of a nation clasp hands
in song and story, in prayer and
procession, and rally around the
flag of their country.
What a glorious sight.
What wonderful Past!
What a great and grand Flu
ture
What legacy to generationsl
The celebration in Martinsburg
is taking place as THE HERALD is
being printed, and a full report
we are not able to present.
Enough is known to show that
all hearts beat alike to-day, that
Martinsburg shares in the mem
cries of the occasion, that the
children can hand down the
proud remembrance of their Col
umbus Day Celebration, Oct. 81,
1892. The exercises are in the
highest appropriate, creditably
and reverentially performed, and
the procession around the streets
made up of the great mass of our
people-young America, -Hurrah
for America and all her people
and heroes and achievements
God and Our Country No slaves
about to die, salute a great EN-
| peror to-day. For us there's but
one God, one country, one home,
one people. All hail, Columbus.
