although they persisted, God would raise
up others to take their places and the VIC
tory would be won. In this they were not
mistaken. Thousands of our soldiers died
on the battlefield without seeing the end
attained for which they fought, but the
cause of liberty and a united. nation lived
on, and no soldier shed his blood In vain.
No life or death is in vain when lived FOL
God and the right.
These principles all ave an application
to our heroic dead They had a cause.
They fought in the interest Of liberty. OF
keeping a nation intact. They had q
high purposes. They willingly sacrificed
themselves. obeyed the orders Of their SUI
periors and died without seeing the vfe-
tory won, but We. their descendants, are
enjoying the fruits of their sacrifice and
live to see the triumph of the principles
for which they CAV their lives. It IS not
a form merely to hold these services and
decorate the grave Of the departed, God
commanded Israel to keep alive the mem
DRY of their victories, and we are thereby
inspired to heroic deeds.
Lastly, let us bear in mind that there
are achievements yet to come; that upon
every American devolves a personal re-
sponsibi1ity in his home. in the .city in
which he lives, at the ballot box. in or
der tina the victories which have been
won by the soldiers Of the Union may not
be in vain."

RIGHTEOUSNESS or OUR CAUSE
Tho Rev. E. A. Meury's Patriotic
Sermon ON the War With Spain.

The Rev. E. A. Meury delivered his an
memorial sermon to the George H.
Thomas Grand Army Post, Sunday night.
Hi theme was the "Righteousness Of Our
Cause.n
aThe Judgment Of the world" he said
among other things, lis that Spain must
go." He assigned two reasons. First,
SPANS a~varice. second. her cruelty.
.ssSone Christian nation" said the minis
ter. sshad to set the example of self sacrifice,
and we today, thank God that there is one
nation on earth unwilling, yes. incapable OF
joining in the European consort with the
TURKS. To give liberty to those who have
earned it, bread to the hungry, and to rescue
our fellow-beings who are perishing through
monstrons brutality is the purpose for which
we nave entered this conflict. We are fight
ing for liberty and ~hunlanity's sake, and on
this issue we can challenge the judgment of
the world and abide the issue before God
and man.

The stirpicu1turists Busy Talking

One Wilson Mcdonald, presumably OF
New York. goes Professor Matthews of
Newark one better. He wants a human
herd book, and he wants the State to
assume control of marriages on a strictly
sti~rptcultural basis. He delivered a lee
ture last week before the Manhattan
Liberal Club, in which he exploited his
theory with many picturesque details OF
Ignorance and stupidity.
He opened with the somewhat amazing
statement that "degeneracy is the rule
of the day." a very alarming statement
when taken at its face value, but not
quite so bad, when Mr.. McDonald's def
milton of d-egeneracy is added. Here 1t

or hovels.
The possession of an umbrella is surely
az eonacal a line of demareation between
the normal and the degenerate human
animal as could we'll be imagined. 1t
suggests horrible suspicious regarding our
ancestry for three or four thousand years
of the worlds history before umbrellas
were invented. In the idea that small
brains are typical of degeneracy, Mr.. Nc
Donald IS certainly original If it were
true. his dictum that ~degeneracy was the
rnle Of the day would b true not only
for this day but for all other days. past
Ind future. The prevailing school Of
a~nthropology however, seems to differ
from Mr.. Mcdonald, regarding the large
brain rather than the small n as the
abnormal and even the degenerate type.
But the gem of Mr.. McDonaIdas paper
IS his practical dictum regarding mar
riage. He says

The Jersey City Tennis Club did not hola
its tournament on Saturday, as originally
intended nor was there any playing to speak
of among the individual members. The
club has been r~eorganized and is now 10
working, or rather playing order. but rain
has greatly impeded the progress OF prepar-

admit of five courts, only one OF which IS at
present in condition for tennis. However
the club entertains great hopes OF being IN
readiness in the course of a couple of weeks
for a tournament in which the Bergen Ten
mis- Club will be invited to contest.
The club is working hard and if the rain
only holds back for a day or two at a time
there is no doubt but that the grounds will
be in prime condition, with the courts all
laid out, by the appointed time.
There are at present about forty members
If The Jersey CITY Tennis Club, and its off
GERS are: president, Mr.. Edward Watson,
vice-president, Prestley Mclaughlin; secret
ary, William Ridgway; and treasurer
