MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
The Day Intended for Appropriate
Commemoration of the Deeds
of Heroes.

Memorial day was founded that
there might be a few hours in each
year set aside for the appropriate
commemoration of the deeds of men
who had been killed while serving the
country in the army or navy or who
had died since having so served. For
number OF years 1t was generally
and suitably observed. Then in some
places 1t ceased to be observed at all.
In many 1t was given up to bicycle
and horse racing and other sports and
festivities.
Diversions of this kind have beer
widely and properly protested against
as dissertations of the day. The pro-
tests seem to have had some effect,
for observance of the occasion prom
ises to be not only more general this
year than usual but also more appro.
pirate. Graves will be decorated. and
in many cities, towns and rural neigh
borhoods there will be solemn process.
sions to cemeteries, and sermons will
be preached and addresses delivered
recalling the brave deeds of the ma
tion's heroes and the great princi-
pies for which they fought and for
which many died.
Holidays devoted to recreation and
sport are good thing, but it does not
necessarily follow that all holidays
should be given up to them. Me-
mortal day ought to be devoted large
ly to recalling what past generations
did.
Contemplation Of the courageous and
selt-sacrificing patriotism exhibited by
past generations is to little purpose
If 1t do not imbue their successors
with purpose to emulate them.
The men of to-day have confronting
them questions almost as difficult as
any which have yet been dealt with,
and the best way the sons can show
their appreciation of what the fathers
accomplished is by resolving to go
about their work as citizens with the
same courage and in the same spirit
as their fathers went about theirs

To the Nation,s Dead.

Long have they lain meath the grass and
sod,
Those noble sons that in battle trod.
No more the sound of the bugle call
Shall quicken their steps to duty's call.
They only wait for the trumpet sound.
When the great and good shall at last be
crowned,
And the battle and strife of yesterday
Shall be lost alike to the Blue and Gray.
Ye who march on this day in May.
To scatter garlands of how'rets gay
over the mounds of soft green sward,
Where sleep the brave in battle gored;
Know that to these ye owe your land,
So scatter the buds with willing hand,
With thoughts of love while lips do pray
For the peace and rest of the Blue and
Gray.
And let the flag on each grave rest,
OF him whose struggle made it blest.
Those Stars and Stripes let proudly wave
Above each soldier honored grave.
For these are they who held them high,
Caring not that they should die.
So let the Union feel to-day
Thoughts of love for the Blue and Gray.

Fraternity, Charity and LOYALTY.

The greatest service the Grand Army
of the Republic has rendered is the
beautiful way in which it gives life to
the principles of the organization-fra-
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions of men of every degree
of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
of brotherhood is not only worthy of
admiration, but also of imitation by the
members of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
in the world, and love is the key to
every department of life, the founda-
tion of patriotic teaching, the safety of
the country, the home and the individ-
ual.
Loyalty to their comrades, their or
ganization, their country and their God
has been fittingly illustrated in the
lives of these boys j, blue.
This trinity of principles. If copied
by our S0,000,000 citizens, would make
us the greatest nation on earth.

The last full measure of devotion-life-
Ye fell asleep while the tumultuous

Around yeu swelled in fury, like the wave
Which breaks upon the rocks which prove

With wailing cries from bugle and from

Nay, ye have never died-ye live to-day

inch steel truss rods were bent and
twisted, the iron columns broken and
the rim of the wheel smashed together

took a trip to Europe. Later he lost
all interest in the monster, died in

40 years Old.
The cost of taking down the wheel
was $4,000. It's ruins are estimated as

THIRTY DAYS TO EXPLAIN

Rochester, y. Y, May 1.-THE YER
diet in the heresy trial of Rev. Dy.
Alsernon :. Crapsey was today deliN-
cred to the accused minister. Four
jurors state in their opinion sentence
should be passed rs follows:
THAT the respondent should be sus-
pended from exercising the functions of
the church until such time as he shall
satisfy the ecclesiastical authorities of
the diocese that his belief and teach
ing conform to the doctrines of the
apostles creed and Nicene creed as
this church hath received the same.
However, We express the earnest hope
and desire that the respondent may see
his way clearly during the thirty days
that, under the canons of the church
must intervene before sentence can be
pronounced. to show to the full salts
faction of the ecclesiastical authorities
of such conformity on his part"
The Charges.
The charges against Crapsey grew
out of a series OF ermon delivered by
him while he was rector of ST. AM
drews' church at Rochester and which
he subsequently published in book form
under the title of Religion and Poll
tics"
In brief. the charges declare Crapseya
in these writings denies the doctrines
of the divinity of Christ. His virgin
birth. His resurrection II the doctrine
of the trinity. as contained in the
apostles and Nicene creeds and book OF
common prayer of the Protestant Epis-
copal church of the United States.
A Minority Report.
DR.. Francis s. Dunbar filed a mi
nority report, in which he says:
II find from Crapsey's own state-
ments and evidence submitted for his
defense that his error consists rather in
p%resu1ming to define what God
has not been pleased to reveal
and to interpret those doctrines in n
name not generally received by the
church rather than in Il denial and re-
ection of their truth and authority"
