At the First Presbyterian church Rev.
Edward Hart jerks preached on THE
Memories OF the Brave"
'.One of the greatest things of the ma
tion." he said, 'Is that 1t has such his
tory Of its defenders that It may and does
honor them in its most sacred hours and In
Its most sacred way. We Americans have
memories as right and as blessed of those

sea and as inspiring and as holy as that
which Is written down in this sacred book.
s''0od has led forth the nations of the
world up to this very hour and His arm
is not yet shortened. God has been won
derfuliy revealed in this very nation, which
believe has made and will continue 70
make one of the most sacred and important
chapters In the worlds progress. Right
has marked our conduests and we can see
that God has led our republic just as He
led Israel in the old days. and think this
country is even more dear TO Him than
was Israel. The more we think of our his
tory the 1rmer must we become convinced
that the hand OF God has been specially
and potentially revealed.

lit is incumbent upon the nation 70 honor
tte defenders, both the surviving and the
ones that have gone before. It is we'll
enough to engrave their deeds on tablets
OF gold and tablets of bronze. but finer
and more enduring than these is the en-
gravures upon the tablets of the American
mind and the American heart. You should
read the history Of our warriors as you do
your bible. for Il has been the history of
liberty, Of progress and Of Christian ad-
vHncement.

ton concerning vital matters of our ma
tional life we often tremble and wonder
whether or not, after all, this republic is
destined to live and to prosper. but 1 say
to you that any nation that has among
its peoples a body of veterans such as we
have need never despair 1or become dis
couraged. They met difficulties that were
much greater than CONFRONT us today and
they met them before the nation had gath
cred the strength and the wealth and the
resources that II pow possesses, and, beset
, by every physical condition that should
make them lose they won the Victory and
preserved the union.
Lepsons Of the strike.
''Right VOW in our own city we are wit
Messing lhe struggle between labor and
eepltgL Just as other cities all over the
country are observing the same battle
FheFe are two sides to the question and
the question Is one pre-eminentIy grave
There are phases of II that are as evil
as evil can be. but believe that labor and
capital are growing to UNDERSTAND each
other and out OF the fray will come an
intelligent peace. Labor is learning that It
must pay its honest allegiance to capital
and capital that II must give it's honest
protection TO labor.
"After all the internal dissension you
will nnd that the bone and sinew of the
nation Is essentially patriotic-that It is
never wavering in it's loyalty and devotion
70 the nag. The spirit that has always
animated our national life will continue
believe. There will be struggles until the
end OF time and each revolution will only
BE- settled when II is settled right and not
until Il has corrected some wrong in our
civilization"
