NATIONAL UNION
ANNIVERSARY SERVICES

Services in celebration of the twenty
second anniversary OF the founding Of
the National Union were held last even
ing in the Peck Memorial Chapel, the
Rev Charles A. Smith officiating In
the pulpit with the minister were James
E. Bright, president OF the District cahi-
net. and H. T. Bryan, ex-president of
the senate Of the union, and william
Briggs, vice president of the union.
Shortly after the services began Mr..
Bright suffered a severe hemorrhage of
the nose and had 10 be removed 10 his
home in a carriage.
DR.. Smith took as the text Of the scr
mon he delivered Truth. Purity. and
Love"
Referring TO the phrase Business IS
business" he deplored the cruelty hid
den beneath 1t, and said:
rs it possible that there is different
standard of morality for the business
world from that which distinguishes
what is termed Christian life?
If a man does not pay his debts ne
cannot be a Christian.
IF he tells an untruth. even in bust
ness. he falls short of being a Chris
tian.
The truth of nation is as important
as that Of an individual.
THE United States being true 10 her
SELF, the name American is respected
today all over the world
These were the points made by Dr..
Smith.

Memorial Services Held in Metro
politan M. e. Church.

Carson Post No. 2. G. A. R., were held
in Metropolitan Memorial NJ. z. Church
John Marshall Place and C Street. last
night. Post Commander E. H. Holbrook

preached the sermon
Following the hymns the adjutant of
the post read the list OF the comrades
who died during the past year and also
gave the records OF their service The
sounding Of taps followed.
Dr. Bristol took for his subject the
words Our FeLow-soIdiers.' found in
one OF the Epistles of Paul. In the
course Of his remarks he said:
The most enduring friendships of his
tory were created by the two almost an
tagonistic elements, religion and war
No comradeship was so close or so
eternal as that between felIow-soldiers.
In business or any profession we have
our comrades and friends, but there is
no such self-forgetfulness or enduring
strength in friendships as in those
formed in the cause of Christ or upon
the battlefield. Men who left their tasks
in civil life for the battlefield and fought
together were side by side in defeat and
triumph, and gives the deepest and most
heartfelt meaning in the word fellow
soldier
DR.. Bristoi's address was at all times
eloquent. and he was frequently inter-
rupted by applause
Following the sermon Post Commander
Holbrook personally thanked the pastor
for the sermon and the post expressed
its appreciation by a rising vote 1t was
unanimously decided that the sermon
be published and distributed TO members

MEXICAN VETERANS
LAST NATIONAL MEET
Survivors Getting Too Old
to Travel Long Distances.

Men prominent in public affairs say
after this year a national assembly of
Mexican war veterans will be a thing
of the past. Even the youngest soldier
among them has passed the appointed
three score and ten, and the years of
the greater number range from eighty
to ninety. Such remnant is neces-
sarily feeble, and the labor of travelling
from one end of the country to the
other may prove 100 much for their
strength Two meetings will be held
this year. one at San Francisco, August
IS and 20. and. another at Indianapolis.
September Is and II. These, it is pro-
posed, will be the last national sessions,
and they are to be supplanted next year
of State assemblies.
Time has proved more terrible than
the Mexican canister. Out OF 10000
men but bare 1000 remain. The
dwindling of the old army has drawn
the attention of military experts to the
campaigns of Scott, Taylor. and Kearny.
Their men have been pronounced among
the most efficient that ever went into
battle, and the engagements of Monter-
ey, Cerrc Gordo. and ChapuItepec are
studied by the young officers of today as
the very best Of textbooks.
The Mexican war trained some of the
best generals who fought on both sides
in the civil war; men who made repu-
tation of an international character
later on.
The roster of officers who survive con-
tain, among others. the following dis
tinguished names: Gen Lew Wallace,
Gen. James Longstreet, Gen. Simon B.
Buckner, Col w. F. Cloud, and Major
s. P Tufts.
