same forsl tribute at the hands of
their. countrymsn as the humble color
bearer who when the regiment was re-
treating rallied the men just before he
was struck by a bullet and leaped up
into the air, crying, "Oh, my God; I'm
goncw and fell dead. Give a hero's
garland to the farmer boy who kissed
his mother for the last time under the
shadow Of the apple tree when he went
forth to die.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that n man lay down his life for his
friends" Every one Of the dead heroes
paid the grestest Of all sacrifices for
his country. They gave their lives in
order that others might live. And as
we, one and all, fellow countrymen,
from the north, the east, the south and
the west, kneel down to place the
Memorial day flowers upon the graves
Of the boys in blue and Of the boys in
gray, may we swear before God by the
affairs Of the dead that we will oppose
with innexible determination any one
who will ever again try to stir up Sec
tional strife. The civil war is dead.
BY the blood Of our loved ones we
swear 1t. The civil war is dead! BY
the northern regiments which followed
Fitz-Hugh Lee and Joe Wheeler and the
southern regiments that followed Law
ton and Merritt In the Spanish Amer
lean war; when north and south fought
side by side, we know 1t.
The Lesson Of Mem orial Day.
Then, as we knecl on Memorial day
by the affairs of the dead soldiers who
fell upon our American battlefields,
may we consecrate anew our lives to
our country's service. May we realize
that when we serve our Lord and Mas
ter best, then we serve best our nation.
May the sorrow and the sadness, the
sufferings and the deaths we this day
commemorate instill in our hearts a
profound love Of peace and u deeper
conservation to him whose name is the
Prince of Peace. Let us labor to 80
disseminate the teachings Of Jesus that
war in the future shall become an i'm
possibility. Then shall be only gospel
peace. Then the American people will
not only love the Lord their God with
all their hearts, but they shall love
their neiglr,ors as themselves. Then
the battles of the civil war shall be
remembered as the sad result Of dis
sensiops that arc no longer settled by
the sword, but are submitted to the
arbitrament of the Prince OF Peace.
Then the glory Of the Lord shall cover
this land as the waters cover the sea.
Then the red stripes Of the American
flag will not be the symbol of an earth
ly carnage, but Of a Saviours atone
ment.
Peace upon peace. like wave on wave,
! This Ia the portion that we crave;
Peace like the rivers gentle flow.
Peace Ike the mornings silent glow,
From day TO day in love supplied,
| An endless and unebbing tide.
| Peace flowing on without decrease
From him who Is our 10Y and peace:
Peace through the night and through tho
day.
Peace through all the windngs OF our
way,
In earthly toll which may not cease,
A deep and everlasting peace.
| O King OF Peace. this peace bestow
| Upon our country here below
Peace from the Father and the Son.
| Peace from the Spirit all his own,
Peace that shall nevermore be lost.
! OF Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
