MEMORIAL DAYS LESSON.
what ~ Has Taught the People of
the United states.

Nearly four decades have passed
since the last soldier fell IN battle in
the war for the Union, and TO a very
large part OF our people now tie COM
memOration Of the heroic dead neces-
sarily has not the personal association
that at FIRST gave such solemnity to the
annual decoration Of their graves. Bnt,
while the ceremony has thus lost soI g
thing Of It's spontaneity. says the Phil
adelphia Times, 1t may really have
gained more than IL has lost in value.
This day Of flowers, which was at first
devoted to the personal commemora-
ton Of the dead grows more and more
into a celebration Of the impersonal
virtue OF patriotism. which was illus
trated in their devotion unto death.
And this Is all the more valuable be-
cause 1t utterly excludes all that self
seeking. commercial element that for a
time seemed 10 have taken possession
Of Memorial day and dishonored the
soldier dead by assOciating with their
memory a demand for recompense TO
their survivors. No matter what the
measure Of our obligations 10 the vol.
unteers OF 1861 GO. they did not go into
the war for pay OF even for glory. The
world never saw grander exhibition
OF unselfsh sacrifice than they made
In pure devotion TO their country. and
this is what we have 10 commemorate,
what we have to emulate. what we
have to teach our children to hold I'm
lasting honor.
Memorial day thus takes its place
among our American holidays as the
festival especially OF the military vir.
tues, as Independence day commemo-
rates the civic virtues and duties OF
patriotism. Not many times in the
history Of our nation has the great
sacrifice of war come upon us. but
whenever 1t may come we must take
care that It find us ready with the
courage and devotion and the enthu.
siasm that met all previous trials and
secured to US our opportunities OF
peace

referred TO as a partner who does not
do her share Of the dancing, but has to
be drawn around.
A few evenings later the same young

The Scepter.

The scepter was the embler Q pow
er. AS the silver wand, so Z, Iiliar in
cathedrals, was once hollow. containing
the 'virge" or rod with which chastise-
ment was inflicted upon the choristers
and younger members of the founda-
ton, so the royal scepter represented
the right TO infiict punishment Hence
the expression ito sway the scepter"
implied the holding of regal dignity.
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional signi6cation Of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions Of the
sovereign. The same !dea was con-
veyed at Reims by the beautiful cere-
mony of letting loose number OF
doves at the coronation of the French
kings.-Good Words.
