MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISE.

First Child
A bunch of fragrant violets, -,
AS my offering have brought,
True blue, as were the soldiers
When for the right they fought
Second Child
I bring the golden buttercups,
So hardy and so brave,
What flower can be more fitting
To deck soldiers grave?
Third Child
bring bunch Of daisies
Some humble grave to crown,
AS innocent as the pure young lives,
So willingly laid down.
Fourth Child
This bunch of purple lilacs
AS my offering bring;
Tis fragrant as the memory
Of those whose praise we sing.
All Together
Well never forget the soldiers,
And when we've passed away,
Mey other hands the flowers bring
Each Decoration Day
In his address before the Pres.
byterian general assembly in New
York last week, President Roose-
welt gave vent to ideas at once
altruistic and uplifting. 1.-The
vital thing to a nation" said the
President, sis the spiritual, not
the material. The forces for evil
in our cities continue to grow and
become more menacing to the
communities, and if we are to 20
forward and not backward they
must be met by the forces of good.
We must look to the church for
setting the standard in morals and
Righteousness for the whole land.
It must make itself felt, through
the life work of it's members, not
merely on Sundays but on week
days, and in their homes and bus1-
ness. If there is one thing l dis
like it is the expression business
is business especially when it
VergeS on rascallty. Inc PreSl-
dent seems as much at home in a
religious assembly, as in a politi-
cal convention, and his courage of
expression is not less than his ply
steal heroism.
Railroad companies are steadily
elevating the moral and ethical
standards whereby they decide the
retention of old and the engage
ment of new employees. One of
the leading roads has just made its
tobacco prohibitions absolute.
Not only must employees refrain
from smoking, but from. the use
OF tobacco in any form, when on
duty in or about passenger stations
or on passenger cars" The ban
on intoxicants is farther reaching
and it has become well-nigh i'm
possible for a man who NEEDLES
with them at all to retain his posi-
ton.
