Cling order of the Grand Army of the
Republic. and at that time the destiny
Of the noble organization was decided.
The most sanguine champions of fra
ternal union did not dream, in 1868,
that the end Of the century encamp-
ment would witness a rally Of dele
gates representing some 100000 old
soldiers and sailors and the muster Of
a marching column equal to a grand
army in the field.

unexampled career No other tie than

of common danger and hardships faced

ternal union. War and military life
had no charms for them then. They
had fought it out and fully believed
generations must pass before another
war would disturb the national quiet.
In the closing sixties and the early
seventies gathering Of Grand Army
men partook of the character Of
funeral rather than a festival The
days were too close to the awful trag-
edy of the war to stir up memories
other than somber. 1t might we'll have
been supposed that the reunion spirit
would wane for lack of interest.

the column which finally went up. And
he was under fire all day, till shot
down in the final charge. 1t was to
inspire valor in his men that he rode
fearlessly at the head of the line when
killed at Manila. For model Egbert
might have taken the brave General
Lytle, who, amid the whirlwind of
disaster which swallowed up Sheri-
dams division at Chickamauga, cried
out to those around him: "NVe can die
but once. Now is the time, gentlemen.
Let us charged"
Or perhaps Egbert emulated the Con
federate hero OF Gettysburg, the fiery
Armistead, who inspired the last squirt
Of Pickett's charge by leaping the
stone wall, with all the flags of his
brigade around him. Springing upon
Union gun he began sabering the men
behind it and was finally shot down by
a cool hand, in the distance, his blood

builded better than they knew. The
record Of valor in battle was too glo-
rious to fall into obscurity, and it's he
roes were the ones to perpetuate it.
A year ago or more it would not have
been unfriendly to predict that the rec
ords Of 1865 might be broken before
the century closed and the idols of the
period overthrown. The Hobsons,
Funstons and rough riders burst like
meteors upon the horizon Of popular
acclaim. Having been predicted, with
expectation at high pitch, it was in
evitable that they be hailed as end of
the century heroes whose like had nev-
er been seen before. To the Grand
Army the deeds of the Spanish war
are glorious not alone in themselves,
but because they show that valor Is
not dead. Much is said Of degeneracy
in these times, but the old soldier
knows for fact that the boys will
preserve what their fathers won, and
no passing veteran can ask for more
than that.
Funston's lightning leap to the front
flnk of war heroes is only another in
stance Of the tribute awaiting real
courage. His recognition was swift
and his reward Immediate One of the
most distinguished Grand Army vet
Grams waited two years for what Funs-
ton got in week or two, the star of
brigadier general. And that soldier
was none other than the present army
commander, Nelson A. Miles. There was
no career in the whole army SO glo-
rious in great deeds as Miles,, yet not
until he won fame on the plains did he
become popular hero.
General Alger's heroic deed at the
battle of Rienzi rested in the record
only to be unearthed by G. A. r. COM
rades when his courage was attacked.

ABOLlS / CHOIR.
Main Street Baptist Church to Have Con-
gregationaI Singing in Future.

The music comttee of the Main Street
Baptist church have decided to inaugu-
rate an innovation in the matter of
church music and beginning with the
new music year in April, the present
choir will be abolished and in its place
Alfred H. Knight is to act as precentor.
Congregational singing is to be a feat
ure in the future.
E. G. Guy, chairman of the commit
tee, who has been investigating the
subject together with the music commit
tee, is convinced that better results will
be obtained if different soloists are en-
gagged for each Sunday in the year. This
plan has been adopted after due consid-
GRAFTON and already the committee has
list of well known soloists who have
agreed to sing during the year
The committee has also just conclud-
ed contract with Charles Stanley
Pratt as organist. Mr.. Pratt is a ne
prev of Henry S. Pratt, of the Ware
Pratt company and comes to this city
highly recommended. He has recently
opened a studio in the Day building,
and intends to make Worcester his
home in the future. He was at one
time pupil of Archer, the famous or
ganist He has been under considera-
ton by the music committee of Ply
mouth church, and the Main Street
Baptist church is to be congratulated
in having secured his services.
