 Once again you have decorated the graves of your comrade dead. There are new graves which you never GOV eEsd before. Men drop so fast ere Iife's mid-stage we tread, we know as many friends alive as dead" To the aged veteran comes the thought, after we are gone, will they who come after do as we do to-day. There is ever the danger of forgetfulness. "out of sight, out of mind.'" There are reasons for believing that the graves of the vet erans will never be forgotten. Memo rial day is deeply rooted ill the hearts of the American people. There are million marked graves. The season of the year recalls men and women to duty. The school and the church will never forget those who went forth to battle. Further there are periods Of reVivication. Centenials and semi-cen- tennials are more and more demanded.
 Memorial organizations are ever keep ing in mind past historic events and giving them proper recognition Then also the colored race is. yet to have its day. There is a great people yet to wake up to gratitude. Its time is yet to come and when it doss come, it's gratitude will know no bounds. And 1t must be remembered that there is a God on high who never allows right eous movenledlts to pass by unnoticed.

 quering army, were the words, .tThe
 only debt we can never pay is the debt
 we owe to the victorious Union sol
 diers." We. can never pay it, but we
 will ever acknowledge tive will never forget it. Yes. men, the coming genera @tions will decorate your graves.
