men shouted: We are ready to avenge the
outrage even unto death Why? Because
the l:fe Of the Union and liberty had been
threatened. For this cause 100000 brave
men sacrificed their lives.
NOW, what did the war accomplish?
DThe death of human slavery; (2) the
death of the result of the slave trade;
the doctrine of state sovereignty; and, 90
the death Of secession. It saved from
death the union of states and preserved
the stainless honor of our flag.
ION this memorial day we have new
conditions Sectional lines are covered
over by the blood of the north and the
south IN our war with cruel Spain. The
heroism of the south, the valOr Of the
north. the gallantry Of the east and the
courage of the west have been united as
never before. All hail a reunited coun-
try. Separated by war. but also united
by war"
Mr. Sutz took up the question of our
duty toward the Philippines and urged
every man to strengthen the hands of
the government and not entertain sedi-
tious ideas, but pray for peace, but
peace that is honorable.
At night Rev. SIutz preached to Central
Labor Union, many of whose members at
tended with their families, and were GER
tainly well paid. Rev. Slutz upheld labor
in all Of its worthy forms, and compared
the artisan of today with those Of pre-
historic and ancient times. He dwelt
most beautifully and enthusiastically on
the dignity of honest toll. by this he
said, 81 do not mean the pretended trade
of the bartender, the man who stands
behind a bar and deals out beer. He has
neither calloused hands nor parched
cheek, but a calIoused heart and a parch-
ed soul. The bartender with his white
apron, is not a man Of toll, much less Of
honest toll. He IS only a menace to labor
and to society"
Next Sunday evening DR.. Slutz will give
the key to the last Sunday nights ser
mon and will preach on the subject ''The
Relation of Capital and Labor" a subject
of much interest to all members of the
Central Labor Union.

remarks were based on Paul's address to

men who fought on many battlefelds,

badges of loyalty and honor. He pic
