veterans of the late war, marched to
the church The church had been
profusely decorated for the occasion
with flags, bunting and flowers, which
presented II pleasing and patriotic
picture. The singing by the choir
was spirited and the patriotic songs
sung were animating, the congrega-
ton dining in with will The ser
mon by the pastor was all that could

bound for nearly one hour, and it was
with difficulty the men held them
