MEMORIES or 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
commem0ration 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 II was generally
and suitably observed. Then In some
places II ceased TO be observed at all.
In many It was given mp TO bicycle
and horse racing and other sports and
festivities.
Diversions OF this kind have been
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 70 be not only more general this
year than usual but also more appr0-
pirate. Graves viii be decorated. and
I'm many cities. towns and rural neigh
borhoods there will be solemn process
sions 10 cemeteries. and sermons will
be preached and addresses delivered
recalling the brave deeds Of the ma
tons heroes and the great princi-
Piles for which they fought and for
which many died.
Holidays devoted 10 recreation and
sport are a 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
selfsacrihcing patriotism exhibited by
past generations is 10 little purpose
II 1t do not imbue their successors
with a purpose 10 emulate them.
The men Of to-day have confronting
them questions almost as difficult az
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

Keen Alive Love for Flag.

AS each year rolls around some patri-
otto city is asked TO welcome the G. A.
r. In a grand runeion, striving TO out
do some other city, which with out
stretched arms has welcomed the G.. A..
r. in a grand reunion, striving to out
to life a dormant spirit Of devotion to
the old flag and a resolve that this
union OF states will never be dissolved
without the G. A. r. to refresh the
memory Of the people Of this country,
they would be apt to forget the great
sacrifice this nation suffered that this
union should not be dissolved
Again there is another wing to the
G.. A. r., the Sons OF Veterans, organ
ICED to go hand in hand with the G..
A. r. to perpetnate their memory for
generations TO come. to keep alive the
love for the old flag, as the strength
Of the nation depends on the love Of It's
people to defend II in time Of danger.

Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.


The greatest service the Grand Army
Of the Republic has rendered IS the
beautiful way IN which II gives life 10
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. r. the greatest thing
In the world. and love Is the key 10
every department Of life. the founda-
ton Of patriotic teaching. the safety of
the country, the home and the individ-
ual.
Loyalty 10 their comrades. their or

has been fittingly illustrated in the
lives Of these boys In blue.
This trinity OF principles, II copied

us the greatest nation on earth.
