The spirit of patriotism engendered In
the hearts of her clergymen by reason OF
the stirring events of the past year will
result in Hoboken having one of the most
elaborate and universal observance OF
Memorial Day ever witnessed in that city.
Hoboken clergymen nave always been
known for their public spirit and patriot
ism, and it is not surprising hat the Sig
nificance of a day which appeals SO
strongly to the heart and mind should be
made the occasion of a celebration IN the
churches tomorrow.
The national colors will be used in dec
Grating the majority of the edifices in the
interior, patriotic anthems will form a
part of the musical programme and the
pulpit topics will be in keeping will the
spirit of the occasion. The flowers ana
ported plants used to decorate the
churches will be used again to marx the
graves of the nations dead on Tuesday.
What will probably be the most elabo-
rate service of the day will be held In st.
Pauls Episcopal Church at 7:b T. M,
when Archdeacon William R. Jenvey,
rector. will deliver a patriotic sermon to
the Grand Army posts, Sons of Veterans
Brigade. Woman's Relief Corps and the
members of Company K and NJ. Fourth
Regiment.
The first two mentioned organizations

cessive years. A veteran himself. he is
deeply interested in all that concerns his
old comrades and keeps in close touch
with the few who are left TO tell OF the
canrp-fres and battlefields of the COS.
