impressive Ceremonies Mark the OBJ
scrNnmce of Memorial Day.

ssrNnBSt OF
In the country the ceremonial of oh
servance of Memorial day is impressive
The Grand Army posts in the country,
small III numbers and far from rich,
cannot make imposing displays, and
wisely seldom attempt it. Yet there Is
an earnestness in what they do as pa
triotic as it is sincere. A little band,
perhaps less than 30 or 40 veterans, as
semble at country church, where serv-
ices are held before the graves are
visited. How solicitous they all appear
that every detail shall be properly OBJ
served Long before the hour designated
for the service TO begin the veterans are
hurrying here and there, busted in ar
ranging every detail for the, TO them,
important occasion. Chairs for those
who are to be seated on the platform
are placed, moved and replaced and set
tied in right positions with much delib-
Grafton.
The people come in and fill the body
of the church, where they sit in quiet
expectation. The seats in front are re
served The pastor Of the church comes
in and looks around with a benignant
smile. The commander goes to the open
door and asks a comrado If the speaker
has not yet arrived, remarking anxious
ly that nothing can be done until he
comes. Presently the speaker arrives
and shakes hands with number who
meet him and retire with him to the
vestry.
The sounds that break the stiffness
that cnsues are impressive. Tramp,

the veterans enter and march up the
aisle. Tramp. tramp Harkl Is II an
echo or the lighter tread of unseen com
rades keeping step with themY They
halt, the standard bearers separate, and
on the right and left rest. with the stars
and stripes upheld. The reserved seats
are taken by the men of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Prayer follows music, and then the
Grafton begins. The orator is eloquent.
"The custom, he says, ''of setting
apart day on which to decorate the
graves of our dead soldiers is n rite so
beautiful and sacred that it will for
ever be perpetuated. In his enthu-
siasm the orator goes too far and car
ries most Of his hearers with him. The
rite he celebrates is truly sacred and
beautiful, yet its observance can only
be transitory All the way down the
ages such rites have been observed.
Tribes and nations have remembered
and adorned the graves of those who
fought their battles After a little the
voices that praised their deeds of valor
are stilled.
