Chaplain Pierce's Address.

The Grafton Of the day was delivered
by Chaplain Charles c. Pierce. L. s. A.
He said in part:
Il speak today to the survivors of two
wars. q greater and lesser war. If you
please. And yet the older veterans must
bear in mind that their younger imita-
tors in bringing speedy peace out of q
smaller conflict did their full duty with
tne biggest thing that came 10 them.
That II wasn't bigger was no fault OF
theirs. And / want YOU to remember
that the old flag came from both of
these conflicts with its stripes dyed
deeper red by the blood of a multitude
OF martyrs: with It's field undimmed by
the falling Of a star; and with its white
stripes unsullied by any mark Of dis
honor
In both struggles it was the emblem
or liberty. Its folds pledged asylum 10
fettered and helpless souls. Whether
they We're worth fighting for IS the poli-
lctanS question. Whether the nation
has been advantaged is an academic
subject. What are we going 10 get out
greed.
The spirit Of chivalry does not wait
for answers to these questions Ii hears
the cry OF fettered humanity and II hur-
rles with relief II concerns itself only
with the question Of the moment as ID
what Is right; and il passes on TO the fil-
ture all the problems that are born With
victory, feeling sure that the genius OF
our civilization viii accomplish. by edu-
cation and legislation. an that Provi-
dence has given rs TO do.
If only the man with the ballot iS as
true 70 his trust as ;he man with the
bullets has becD-and ] have no doubt
be will be-nune of us need sigh for the
future of this fair land. as none Of us
have cause 20 blush for it's past
Why do we touch upon topics like
this upon such an OCCASION Because
We want 20 crown our dead with fade.
less laurel Because we want posterity
