Official Program for Today.-The
Annual Concert Tonight.
Count not the cost OF honor to the dead
The tribute that mighty nation pays
To those who loved her well in former !
days
Means more than gratitude for glories fed; |
For every noble man that she hath bred,
Immortalized by arts immortal praise
Lives in the bronze and marble that we
raise,
To lead our sons as he our fathers led.
These monuments of manhood, brave and
high,
Do more than forts or battleshps to keep
Our dear.bought liberty. They fortify
The heart OF youth with valor wise and
They build eternal bulwarks, and command
Eternal strength to guard our native Land.
The address to Chamberlin Post and
the people of st. Johnsbury was given in
Music Hall Sunday evening by Rev. DR..
Edward D. Eaton. Music was furnished
by the double quartet choir and the boy
choir OF the North church, the opening
prayer was given and the scriptures read
bv Rev. A. F. Walch and the prayer be-
fore the address was given by Rev. A. d.
Gage.
Rev. DR.. Eaton said his address was
suggested by the words of the Psalmist,
'In the name OF our God we will set up
our banners" He gave strong and
scholarly address on Loyalty" which,
be said, was derived from the same Latin
word as law. He said loyalty was not
devotion to any particular state as the
doctrine of state sovereignty was set
tied by the civil war. Neither was a
LOYALTY to any party as that made
man partisan. Loyalty is devotion,
a virtue, a principle, sef-surrender.
We are loyal to our country and the
profound loyalty in the North and the
LOYALTY of the boys in blue at the front
saved the nation in the '60s. Those
living in monarchy are loyal to the
King.
We have in place OF the monarch the
flag, which is a universal symbol OF the
loyalty OF the American people toward
their country. The flag everywhere ex'
presses the principles of our country
liberty and law combined. Our country
is the gift of God and religion is loyalty
to God. No man can love his country
most perfectly unless he loves his God.
In closing DR.. Eaton briefly touched
upon the great problem OF immigration
and the great disclosures of corruption
in high places and said if we were loya
to God and to the Divine teachings o
Christ God would bless this nation mos
abundantly.
The address was full of helpful word
of great statesmen in this and othe
countries and was listened to by mos
interested audience.
