Chapter II. Verse l3: ''And their works
shall follow them" He began BY
stating that this United States OF ours
wac great nation. No scheme or plan
was too great for them to undertake.
Tho generation to c,me would be even
OF more Importance. and this present
chapter in the nation's history was red
one. The present state Of warfare with
another nation was but what might bs
expected. tits written IN the Book Of
Life that strife would continue until oil
nations should know God.
Tho American nation, Mr.. Miller
stated, was unlike any other. Tho
greater number Of tho people were de-
soendants OF French Hugusrots, who
had been pereeoutsd in their own land,
Puritans Who had endured the fires Of
smithfleld, and natives OF Scotland Who
had also been psrsecuted. These anoes-
tors Of the people Of this country had
endured much and their works followed
them. The dream Of liberty and On.
lightenment which these people cher.
ished in their life Was now fulfilled.
The speaker was surprised that 20 few
young men were present at the meeting
and believed that parents shosld care
fully tram their children to love their
country and instruct them 90 that they
would bs patriotic. The young people
should be told OF the glorious decide OF
tho patriots Of this great land Of liberty.
The future success OF the nation depends
on this being done.
Mr.. Miller paid glowing tribute to
the soldiers who fought IN the many
wars in which this country has been en-
gagged and those who are now subduine
tho F.lipinos. Too much honor, be
said, could not be paid to the members
Of the Grand Army who fought that the
nation might live. Soon the members
would be gone-they are dying of quick
ly. The proclamation of Lincoln by
which the slaves Of the south were iber.
ated was an act which freed the country
/ OF great blot-s crime against civlli-
zatlon. The young men Of the land
should fight for righteousness and purity
In politics. They should avoid Sabbath
breaking. They ought to consider some
thing besides looking nice and wearing
clothes Of the correct style.
y In conclusion Mr.. Miller hoped that tht
Veterans Of the war would be rewarded
with eternal bliss in paradise, there tt
rest forever free from the strife Of thil
world.
The service was concluded by the sing
ing OF "Ame RIGA" by the congregation.
