Memorial Day Observance.

The original idea in instituting Memo rial or Decoration Day was to inaugurate the custom of visiting the cemeteries on that day and placing flowers on the graves of the departed, ,heroes of the war. In many European countries on cer- tain day of the year the cemetries are thronged with people who come to visit the graves of their relatives and friends and decorate them with flowers. The custom has strong hold on the popular heart in those countries. It seems to us that this feature of Memorial Day is the one which should be most urgently insisted on, especially in the rural sec. tions. The meeting in the public hall to listen to speaking and singing and the military procession in the cities are all very we'll, but there is nothing in them to touch the heart SO much as to go into the cemeteries, to stand by the graves of the soldiers and see the bronz- ed faces of the old soldiers as they pass through the cemeteries, visiting one grave of dead comrade after another. There is something in the silent grave of the departed soldier or eailor more eloquent and thrilling to every patriotic heart than any oration. The custom in Europe has existed for hundreds of years and the hope of perpetuatiug the observance of Memorial Day in this country lies in inducing our people to visit the cemeteries on this one day of the whole year. It is the duty of pull pit and press, year by year, to impress on our people the duty of at least ob- serving this part of the Memorial Day program. It is shame that so few be- sides the G. A. R. men should visit the graves of the brave men who went forth in the strength of their spirited young manhood and braved and endured all the horrors of war for the love of their and our beloved country.

I might say here that since, profanity as we'll as other crimes Is on the in crease. would it be any wonder if God should send Q plague? What does He say?

Memorial Day Not For Sports.


 We have heard much and have read much about the desecration of Memo rial Day. We have frequently uttered. and also published, our protest against the desecration of that day. We have often stated that the Union soldiers did not leave their peaceful homes and sac rifice their lives on purpose to make one more holiday for the present generation. But to Rev I. w. Smith, of Otis. Mass, is due the credit of "hitting the nail on the head" In his Memorial Day ad- dress delivered two weeks ago before the veterans of Otis, Rev Smith spoke as follows regarding present methods of observing the day:
 'sThis is the way tho day should be spent. It is no day for hilarity and amusement, no day for field sports, no day for racing. These are all out of place on this solemn occasion. To very many it is the great day of the year. Do any suppose that when those man. gled bodies. the bodies of those hus- bands. sons and brothers were brought home, that any in that town were in the spirit of dancing, ball playing, or horse racing? These things would be just as proper at 8 funeral as on Memo rial DaVx It calls up serious thought, and awakens deep and tender feelings and ought to be observed in the same spirit in which we cross the threshold of 8 dwelling that is draped in mourn ing. l know thirty years have passed away since the last battle was fought, the last gun fired on either side, thirty years since Grant and Lee signed terms of peace. but those thirty years are too short for wounds in the human heart to heal. The fields that were ploughed and torn by shells and cannon balls, may now be covered by 8 carpet of green grass and flowers growing as though no battle had been fought, the wounds in the earth may be healed. but hearts that were rent and torn have not been. Wounds in the human soul are still fresh, and while we are to rejoice with those who do rejoice, we are to weer with those who weep. We have a great deal to rejoice over. We rejoice that SC many lived through the war and are still living. We weep over those who fell ir battle and have died since the war clos cd. And as sunshine and shower blend together, so our rejoicing and tears"
