Centennial of the Death of George
WashinptOn.

Washington.
The Grand Army veterans and
soldiers of the late war, took &C.
casion on Sundaylast to commemor-
ate the ce ntennial of the death of
Washington, who died on the 14th
of December, 1899.
Having assembled at their hall
the veterans marched in a body to
the Methodist church which was
tastefully draped with national
%colors, where an appropriate SER
vice was conducted by Rev. J. M.
Murchison. The subject taken
for discourse was the influence of
the past upon the present, in shap-
ing our destiny, in moulding our
thought, in awakening our ambi-
ton and in fostering a courage to
meet every emergency in life with
persistency and endeavor. The
speaker maintained that our age is
not one of retrogression, but that
we today are standing upon a pin
icle of progress in the arts and
science Of life never before at
tanned, and that this is partly due
to the inspiration of the heroes of
past ages. Men and women who
have fought its battles and carried
it's sorrows, illumined it's dark
places, have left an ever widening
influence upon succeeding gener-
atoms. He showed that the great
and successful men of every age
are commonly made by the great
occasions which they filled. The
occasion bringing forth the men,
but the men also bringing courage
and faith to meet the occasion.
men who did not shrink disparing-
ly within the narrow compass of
his own weak abilities, but who,
embracing each one his cause,
went forth to conquer under the
inspiring influence of their call.
The personal characteristics of
Washington were fully set forth,
showing that the great heart of the
individual was continually work
ing an evolution in his life from a
lower to a higher level, and main
tanning that the study of any hero
failed in its object if we did not
imbibe some of the spirit that
made the individual great.
