IN MEMORIAM

Next Monday is Memorial day and
it brings to us this year added solemn
ity, for the United States is again at
war, and new deaths are causing new
graves upon which to spread the laurel
and roses. The great spirit of Amer
lean patriotism has been aroused and
! all over the land the people will
throng the cemeteries with reborn
love, to show that they have not for
gotten the struggle of that earlier
day. When out of trial came strength
and out of disaster and death came
the glory of the nation. The young
manhood of the land-the new gen.
eration-now being called upon to up
hold the honor of the sane flag
their fathers laid down to preserve,
can gain this less on from those who
lived through the other dark days,
that the struggle is just. God reigns
and wills and the cause is in his own
keeping.
The spirit of the heroes of the Maine
is abroad and old lessons of new
patriotism are being taught; for that
reason the day Will be made memoir
