REV. j. y. DONAHEY
Preached on Memorial Day at the Bridge
mort PRESBYTERIAN Church.


Rev I. A. Donahey, pastor of the
PRESBYTERIAN Church, at Bridgeport, de-
livered the memorial sermon yesterday
morning to Branum Post No. ~, u.
A r The members of the Post met
in the Union Hall at 10 o'clock, as also
did the Junior and Senior lodges OF
American Mechanics, which had been
invited To attend the services in com
panv with the G.. A. r. Post. From
there thew marched over to the church
in a body. .,e.,
The church presented a very beautliul
appearance. as it had been artistically
decorated with flags, bunting ana
flowers. The services were IN the form
of union services, Rev. DR.. ,. ScoVei,
President of Wooster University, and
Rev. w. L. Dixon, pastor of the Kirk
wood NJ. e. Church. taking part. The
Methodist choir was present and rem
dered several appropriate selections.
The Rev. Mr.. Donahey took for his
text. Remember the days OF old. -
Dent xxi. 7. The topic was an eX-
cellent one and very appropriate. ne
oneninc thoughts contained illusions
- tho ancient idea that there was
certain point in the upper atmosphere.
where all the Earrings and noises OF
human events are eventually lost from
bearinq and that peace and harmony
aqain reign supreme. To this he COM
nared n the war in which the veterans
- whom he preached fought. The
suffnrings and horrors Of the battle
soid baTo taken their flight and now
al is neace once more. In the things
which had come 10 pass we could note
tho strange and mysterious manner III
which the hand Of the Most HlSh moves
in the affairs of men.
There is a God in the history OF our
land and in a history of lands through
81 ogoS through whom but one I'M
aaoeino nrrnose runs. The great pur-
go of tbe war of the rebellion was to
,,,;ro ont human slavery. and extend

body, where they were preached a
special sermon by the rector, Rev. w.
J. Williams. His text was taken from
the Proverbs. 1924: There is friend
that sticketh closer than a brother. y
In his opening remarks, he stated that
there was a time set apart for every
special work, and that to-day, when
the members of the lodge assembled
together in the church, was one OF
these times. The lodge, although not
near as old as some others, was having
excellent success, which was very en-
couraging.
The fact of the matter is that you
are as strong as many other lodges,
although but thirty-three years OLD.
Your order teaches q tremendous lesson
to the world in the words, Peace, Pur~
ity and Goodwill" Here some time
was spent in the illustration and eX-
PLANTATION of these words.
True friendship is a divine and
spiritual relation, harmony Of souls,
though. like the bitter sweets OF lie,
friendship has it's ups and downs, and
will have until it returns TO heaven,
from whence it came.
Friendship, Charity and Beneyolence,
the three fundamental principles OF
your order, constitute a chain of I'M
firing force for the rendering of grand
and noble deeds. The founder OF the
lodge. Justus Rathbone, was paid
high tribute of respect. He came from
humble parentage. and the rector SAID
to his mind great honor was due MIN
on this account, if no other.
The story of Daman and Pythlas'
upon which the order was founded, was
briefly related, and he inferred that
a lodge founded on such principles as
displayed by these two men, one to-
wards the other. was one of the grand
est that could be.
He begged of them in their work to
protect the weak help the right, and
aid the needy in order that they might
receive the salvation of God, also to
stand by their lodge and not forget
that they must also observe the COM
mands OF the Lord.
Last evening the rector dellYered
an excellent sermon expressly for the
old soldiers. of which there were a
goodly number in attendance. His sub
iect was, The Soldier and the Best
Banner"
