GREAT EVENTS RECALLED.
The Rev. J. c. Nicholson on Memorial
Days Significance.

Veteran members Of Farragut Post. No
10, G. A. r., occupied the front pews at
! Trinity Methodist Church Yesterday
morning. The sermon delivered by the
Rev J. c. Nicholson dealt with the spirit
of Memorial Day, and the motives which
inspired men to lay down their lives in
the war Of the rebellion for the preserva-
tion of the Union.
The church was decorated profuseIy
with large American flags Everywhere
the national colors were in evidence. The
flags were draped over the pulpit rail, and
at the rear Of the rostrlm.
The Rev. Mr.. Nicholson chose for his
text Exodus, KILL: This day is me
morial" and opened his discourse by re-
ferring 10 the patriotism and religion Of
the Hebrews. wEIch is intertwined in their
literature. He said In part
God Institutes memorials to call atten-
tion to significant events. We gather in
spiration from the history of the past. We
are on the eve Of Memorial Day, the
sweetest holiday Of the year What is the
significance Of this occasion? For what
did these men die?
There are three things. They are, first,
the emphasis Of a popular sovereign gov
ernment. This is a government for the peo-
pie and by the people There is no mon
archy and no caste. 1t Is a new doctrine in
history. 1t is not strange. however that
such doctrine should be established by
the people who built up this nation. They
came from various countries. all Eeljey-
ing in civil and religious liberty, the
Pilgrims, the Swedes. the Dutch. the HUI
guenots, all had been prosecuted by the
Governments from which they fled Pro-
testantisn had given birth to this spirit
The principle was put to actual test
in the war of the rebellion by the soldiers
OF the Union. a minority attempted TO
abrogate the spirit OF the Constitution
they tried TO set aside it's basic principles.
Ihen II was that these men said they
would give their lives that the principle
should live and not be abrogated -
The speaker then touched upon the sub
lect Of liberty. The freeing of the slaves
he said, was an appeal to the conscience
OF every man. 1t was in his opinion di-
rectly in line with the TEACHINGS of the
Saviour
The third point he touched upon was the
supreme value of manhood" " He said

Ferry. the granite rocks jut out here and
there. through the fresh, beautiful foliage
of the springtime. But they are not more
enduring than the memory of him whose
sacrifice for the bondman has lighted them
all up with beauties nature never painted
there.
Everything in that old town speaks
of John Brown. The Potomac singing its
deep-toned song at the foot of the bluff;
the Shenandoah coming with hurried step
from the heart of that Virginia which
slew him; grass and flowers and trees
and birds, everything chants one refrain;
the song which sent a million men out to
fight for the cause for which he laid down
his life; the song which is a rallying cry
today in public affairs whenever a great
principle is at stake:
John Browns body lies a moulderng in the grave,
His soul goes marching on.
They might cut and slash his face with
sword and saber thrust, pierce him
through and through with rifle and mus
ket balls, hang him high in the air with
rope around his neck, tumble him into
a box, bury him in the earth, something
there was about him. nor time nor chance
could touch; something neither Governor
nor sheriff could reach; something Lee
and his soldiers never captured and lH.-
prisoned, and that was his splendid soul.
Woven of the granite and the iron,
made of the fibre nature weaves into the
hearts of heroes, faith, courage, love, un-
assailable by man because they are
strands from the loom of the infinite.

MEMORIAL DAYS LESSON.
An Inspiration to NObIer, PuFer, and
More Patriotic Lives.

Tie Rev NJ. Ross Fishburn, pastor of
! the Mount Pleasant Congregational
! Church. Columbia Road and Fourteenth
! Street, at Yesterday mornings services
preached an eloquent sermon on the sub
| ject, What Decoration Day Should Do
! For Us" In the course of his sermon,
the Rev. Mr. Fishbuln said, in part:
I'VE know that beavers and ants have
! schools where they teach their young
| how to build houses; we know that wolves
| form themselves into regiments with gen.
erals and corporals and soldiers, when
they go out on their marauding tours.
| We know that there is an instinct in the
animal which teaches them to do this,
but we also know that they have no con-
ceptiou of a future state of existence, of
death or life thereafter.
And it is to death that the greatest
buildings in the history of the world
have been erected. They have been put
up by man in memory of the dead. Look
at the pyramids. the temples. the arches,
and the Washington Monument. Man
kind has always acted as if these great
dead were still among us, were stil liv-
ing. Their thoughts doctrines. and noble
traits are with us to live forever.
Tremendously significant is our in
stinct of Immortality. We will not dwell
on the sorrows and pains that come in
variably with death today, but let us
consider only the most beautiful instinct
in connection with this immortality, that
| of scattering flowers over the resting
places of those who have preceded us.
! Decoration Day should teach us to
! think of death, which, by the lamented
Or. Babcock, so beautifully was styled,
our emancipation Let us think when we
come to scatter flowers next Thursday
that mourning and flowers have no Mace
together. Decoration Day should nil our
| hearts with great gladness, because bless
| ings have followed the war, and because
the war Is over.
Some wars are right; most wars are
wrong. When for a principle, war is al
ways right in Gods eyes. The Revolu-
| tionary war, the civil war, the Spanish
American war were right
Decoration Day should inspire US to
lead purer, nobler, and more patriotic
lives by reminding US OF the sacrifices
our fathers, forefathers. and mothers
tive land. Decoration Day should fill our
hearts with thankfulness, because our
country is reunited, because it is indeed
the great United States.
The war with Spain acted as the
revelation, rather than the cause of the
reunion of the States. Decoration Day
should lead US to remember the beautiful
lines of Finch:
40 more snail the war cry sever,
Nor the winding rivers be red;
They Danish anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the blossoms the Blue,
Under the garlaads the Grey

rades at Grace Reformed Church last

Union Veteran Legion attended their
annual memorial service in large num-
bers. listened to the eulogies paid the
dead. and Joined in the simple services.
The church was packed to the doors de-
| spite the inclement weather
The names of these members of the en-
campment who have died during the past
twelvemonth were inscribed in a pro-
gramme symbolical of mourning They
are: James T. SwendeIls, First Mary
land Light Artillery; Joseph Jouy. 18th
Illinois Volunteers. and hospital steward,
U. s. A; David Morgan, 18th PennsyI-
vania Volunteers; James d. Brady.

teers; James ID. Power, 16ith New York
Volunteers; Fletcher s. Kidd, Seventh
and Forty-second Wisconsin Volunteers.
A bugler opened the service by sound
ing the assembly. After aII anthem the
ritual of the Union Veteran Legion was
conducted by the officers of the encamp-
ment The opening address was by
Col. j. Edwin Browne. He spoke of
the invaluable services rendered the
nation by those men who went to the
front at the outbreak of the civil war
and fought throughout tie bloody con-
fict to preserve unity, and touched upon
the devotion shown to the Union Veteran
Legion by the members of that organiza-
ton
Following the reading of the names of
the dead of the past year by the adjutant
of the encampment came the crowning Of
the vacant chairs, which were ranged
just behind the chancel rail. Lieut. Col
Daniel A. Babcock, after brief remarks
of tribute to the memory of those who
had answered the last roll call, placed a
large wreath of roses and laurels on
each chair until all but a single chair
| had been so decorated.
Major Harrison l.. Dean then crowned
this remaining chair in honor of the
patriotic women of the war In a brief
speech he dWelt eloquently on the high
motives which made noble assistants of
the mothers, wives. sisters. and sweet
hearts of the men who fought from 81
to 50, with the result that the nation re-
mained unbToken. With n vaIor not less
notable than that which inspired the
soldiers in the forefront of battle, the
patriotic women of the North had spent
long nights in watching and nursing
wounded defenders Of liberty. The sym
pathy and cheer which sprang from their
loyal hearts proved one of the bulwarkS
of the Federal cause, and could never be
forgotten while history endures.
The memorial address was delivered by
Past Col. Nathaniel Shatswell. after
which another address was made by the
Church. who also delivered the benedic-
ton.
