PATRIOTIC ORDERS JOINED
In a Union Service at the Clinton
Avenue Church.

The Memorial day services at the Clinton
Avenue Methodist church, West St. Paul,
yesterday, were more largely attended than
were those of year ago when all the G. A.
R. organizations in the city attended worship
at that church.
At yesterdays service were members Of Gar
field post, Gettysburg post, Women's Relief
corps, OF Garfield post, Camp No. 81, Sons OF
Veterans, Daughters of Veterans, and the
Minnesota Associa ion Of Naval Veterans, most
of them coming from Minneapolis.
Rev. Thomas Hambly preached the sermon.
Preliminary to the discourse Mr.. Hambly
spoke briefly and in eulogistic terms of the
United States army and navy veterans. Mr..
Hambly's text was John, xviii, 81: THAT
they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art
in me, and in Thee, that they also may be
one in u.s. that the world may believe that
Thou hast sent me-
Mr.. Hambly said in part:
Times are changing. Themes are changing.
The speeches that were descriptive of the

bers now. Theories that were born yesterday

three years has been bridged in night.
One single bugle call for common defense
has been answered by a common people.
Surely for this assurance of common domestic
unity we can sing this morning the Doxology,
though war be at our door. We had msunder-
standings. The South was socially, political
ly, economically, morally and religiously
wrong. She has undergone suffering untold
since the dark days of the war, fit retribu-

sufficient penalty for the wrongs they had in

of whom are not responsible for the
conditions under which they labor, but are
paying the penalty of sins visited upon them
by the preceding generation. In the rural dis

appalling than the poverty of purse. This fact
is one Of the ominous questions that confront
our future.

sons and daughters of the cd jamestown set
tlement are superior in this respect to any
thing on the round globe. Generosity is as
free and as prevalent as the air in the land
where these noble people dwell. Their love
of country equals their liberality and their
interest in its perpetuity is as deep as any,
thing known north of the Mason and Dixon
line. Their courage Is matchless and the en-
durance of their home love is only paralleled
by the sublime ideal they individually possess
of the majesty of law. Honor Is their first
and paramount study, and God, as they con-
ceive Him, is everywhere in their thought.
The restoration of those blighted states, with
their latent possibilities smouldering under
the unextinguishab.e fires Of a quarter of a
century, would be the grandest eliminating
climax of nineteenth century achievement.
Our country is the great experiment station
OF the globe, and centuries of experience will
overturn many of the established theories of
the past ages of the world. Let turn the
flow of human sympathy southwark and
strengthen our nation a hundredfold. believe
