MEMORIAL DAY.

Never was there a more perfect Memorial Day
than that of May So 1892 and never was the day so
sscredly observed by the Grand Army and Relief
Corps and patriotic citizents everywhere.
At Arlington Cemetery, the beautiful city Of the
dead across the Potomac Mt Washington, and in
every cemetery and graveyard in the land where n
hero In blue lies buried. true and faithful hearts
brought the sweet memorials of blooming flowers
and perennial evergreens. And never in all the
history of the Relief Corps were many flags and
flowers placed, through their instrumentalities.
upon the neglected battlefelds of Virginia and
Georgia and Tennessee. Every year the Relief
Corps reaches a more shining goal, and their
marches of love upward and onward to
the nights of patriotic endeavor and the blissful
slopes of peace.
The newspapers of every city and town proclaim
the praises OF the Relief Corps. Washington, Bos-
ton, New York, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Toledo, Chicago st. Louis Minneapolis, Denver,
San Francisco and thousand other places tell of
the wreaths twincd and the hymns chanted and
the flower offerings to the dead known and I'M
known, coupled with the fair name and fame of
the Woman's Relief Corps.
And the children! Never was there such vast
array banded together to lisp with childish sweet
ness the story of Nations sacrifice. In the deep,
true heart of the American people Memorial Day
is now and forever the Floral Sabbath Of the
year.
News comes of flag presentations to the veterans
the training and uniformng of youth and children
the drilling in songs and Rotations, and every
where the loyal women of the Relief Corps
ceive their merted needs of praise from the
veterans.
