while the more active celebration OF
Memorial Day takes place on Monday, 1t
ID beautifully appropriate that the actual
date falls on the Sabbath, and to the usual
church services may be added touching
reference to the illustrious dead. The oc-
sasion is . holy one, embracing all relig-
ions, every creed; time has softsned the
gain and sorrow of years ago, and sweet
memory calls to the loving observance OF
the resting places Of those whom nation
nouns and honors. It has long ceased to
he day of weeping; 1t is celebration to
loyalty and duty; an hour when all inter-
ssts are merged In one and when all hearts
beat together. Can 1t be wondered at, then,
that on this day the veterans Of many hard
fought battles love to honor their fallen
brothers In this time -honored custom,
strew their graves with loving tokens and
pay the highest honors that can be paid to
a soldier-a volley over his grave.
On this daysthe memory Of the Veterans
travels back to the time when with clarion
sound, the order came for troops to go to
the front. They remember well the heart
rending scenes of the partings with the
loved ones, knowing not whether, In this
life, It would be vouchsafed them to be re-
united again. In this city, In particular
the lovely visiting places OF the soldier
dead will be honored with due solemnity.
Garlands of flowers will be placed reverent-
ly upon their graves by comrades, who, In
the strife and hustle of everyday life, pause
to pay homage to their brother dead.
Scoffers may jeer, but to the Veteran the
day 10 holy, the occasion is imposing, and
hearts TEEN with Q kindred love that
knows no religion, no condition In life.
On that day, the prosperous banker, the
contented merchant, the judges Of the
courts and the ilowly but honest laborer
win be seen walking side by side, ~ COM
panions In q holy cause, to honor those
whose courage and love of country made
them offer themselves upon the altar of
liberty and the preservation OF their native
land In time of danger.
