Memorial exercises which were
commenced Sunday by a SER
mon by Rev. Il. ID. Lane and
special music by the choir Were
of more interest than usual. The
pastor took for his text the first Is
verses of the twenty eighth chapter of
Deuteronomy which recounts the
blessings that shall come TO the nation
that shall keep the commandments of
the Lord, thy God. and walk In His
ways" The church was decorated
with flags and flowers. Notwithstand-
ing the rain a few met at the South
cemetery Memorial day morning and
decorated the graves of the fallen he
roes. At 10 o'clock the people gath
cred at the town hall and listened to
! a full program consisting of music by
the choir recitations by Guy Sever
ance and Henrietta Osgood and sing
ing by the South and East hill schools
There was quite little rivalry be-
tween the schools as each In turn /
gave song about the flag or the red, |
white and blue and when the South
school gave the salute to the flag the
applause was long and loud but each
school did very well, Their parts We're
so Well done that 1t demonstrated the
fact that teaching singing in school
is worth while. Then the speaker of
the day. Rev. n. NJ Cation, former
pastor here, now of East Longmeadow,
was introduced. During his address,
he recalled the time when he first came
to Leyden and his pleasant recollect-
ions of the place and the people. Free
quent bursts of applause showed that
the sentiments expressed met with the
approval of the listeners. 1t was an
address and he closed by
some of the benefits the J
war conferred on the people of these Y
United States. The hall was decorated
with bunting, flags, flowers, and potted
plants The tables in the dining }
'oom were well laden with good things '

which there was much visiting and re- |
rowing of acquaintance. II
