birthday of such character should be
remembered by Nation he loved and
served, and for which he lost his life.
We love to think of Lincoln, for thoughts
of him bring always holy ambitions and
greater love for that which is true. His
birthday marks an epoch in history. He
it was who called for Union defenders at
a time when disunion threatened the
National life. He it was who so skilliully
directed the ship of state during those
stormy winds of unsettled opinion. He it
was who became the victim OF an as
sassin's rage, and breathed out upon the
country's altar his life blood, so loyal and
true to the best interests of our Nation.
Brothers. remember our fathers re-
sponded to the call of Lincoln. Now, let
us respond TO the call to do honor again to
the day which ushered this brilliant star
into our satellite syStem-a star which so
rapidly became the center, around which
there clustered hundreds of thousands
whose lives shone with heroic patriotism.
"As Feb. II, 1899, falls upon Sunday, we
advise that the program be given Satur-
day or Monday night, and that pastors
of various churches be requested To
preach appropriate sermons upon the day
proper. Let interesting programs be pre-
pared by every Camp, consisting of patri-
etc.
"We call special attention to Sec. VI. of
General Order No. g. The National MOnu-
ment Committee, organized Tor the cree
ton of National memorial To the dead
heroes of the Cuban battlefields and the
martyrs of the Maine, has invited our
Order to hold special services in cOnnec-
ton with that noble cause, and we in
dorse the recomme ndatiOn Of Commander
in Chief Frank l.. Shepard, that the serv-
ices be held in connection with Union
Defenders Day.
1.-THE heroes who died for the cause of
Cuban liberty deserve a warm place i'm
memory. The noble boys who lost their
lives in the shocking Maine disaster
sh onld have no less favored place in
memory's book. Many Of them were our
brothers, and their seats in the Camps
are now vacant. Give them recognition

Let us rally TO the standard. May mem
ory never lose the influences stamped
upon our lives by men like Lincoln. Let
