| PASSING OF THE GRAND ARMY

The object of the Grand Army in its
'elation to civil life, and aside from it's
traditional association and charitable
work, was to organize the victory
| which had been won on the field of
oattle The post rooms become schools
| Of loyalty, where reverence for the flag
as the symbol of the nation has been
persistently inculcated and where the
natiOnal idea has been constantly eX-
alted. Then came the work in the
schools of which mention has been
made and whereof all the land knows.
1t is not too much to say that owing
to the far-reaching influence of the
Grand Army of the Republic more
than to anything else the flag is now
universally revered, and there is no
longer any question in the land, either
in the North or South, that the Amer
lean people now constitute a nation.
Day after day, as the glory of their
achievements in all the arts of peace
is finding new acknowledgment in ev-
cry quarter of the globe, there comes
the world encompassing power of the
future-great, glorious, invincible.
But what of the men who won this
priceless heritage in the most stupen
dous struggle of the modern age?
They are passing, passing, swiftly
passing. More than ever now each
annual encampment brings home the
tragedy Of death in life. More than
ever now each annual encampment
emphasizes the grim, solemn fact that
soon-all too soon-the Grand Army
of the Republic, with all that it SYM
boliZas, will be nothing but tradi
ton. Figures that do not lie give
much food for thought-sad, intros-
pective thought.

BCEcHER AT FORT SUMTER.
The Rehoisting of the Stars and
Stripes in Glory.

III SiS'J'
Since this flag went down on that
dark day who shall tell the mighty
woes that have made this land a spec
tacle to angels and men? The soil
has drunk blood and is gutted. Mil
lions mourn for myriads slain, or, en-
vying the dead, pray for oblivion
Towns and villages have been razed
Fruitful fields have been turned back
to wilderness. 1t came to pass, as the
prophet said:
The sun was turned to darkness
and the moon to blood"
The course of law was ended. The
sword sat chief magistrate IN half the
nation; industry was paralyzed; NOR,
ais corrupted; the public weal invaded
by rapine and anarchy; whCle states
ravaged by avenging armies. The
world was amazed. The earth reeled.
When the flag sank here it was as if
political night had come. and all the
beasts of prey had come forth to de-
vCur. That long night is ended. And
for this returning day we have come
from afar to rejoice and give thanks
No more war. No more accursed
secession. No more slavery, that
spawned them both.
Let no man misread the meaning OF
this unfolding flag. 1t says:
Government has returned hither."
