WHAT IT TEACHES.
Lesson of the Earthquake Sum
married. in Verse.

maT1ZeQ IN verse.
The mystery of the awful catastrophe at
San Francisco, 1t is stated. will never be
solved, but the lesson It teaches can be
understood. The shock that awo<e the
slumbering thousands in towns and cities
in California also awoke a siumberiag
world. In one hour millions of DISTINGUISHED
people whose whole thought was given to
selfish ends. were transformed. and the
one thought OF all was studying to find
ways in which to do merciful things Help
fulness changed places with seiisnness.
sympathy with Indifference and hopefuIness
stretched out it's hand TO despair. The
earthquake emphasized mans helpfuIness,
but 1t also summoned all to neto. No one
incident in all our history tells more OF
people than the response to San Fran
ciscos need In the hour of peril.
The following lines are said to sumnar-
iZe the lesson:
The swinging earth moves In its spheres,
Unheeding what say or do;
Men count not days, but look to years,
Not caring for the hopes or fears
OF all the struggling few.
In times of greatest plenty, gain,
The greedy masses ask for more.
The trembling earth in grand disdain
Lets loose its mighty cali-"Refrain!"
Count not upon your earth filled store.
Foe when you think your plenty sure.
Not caring with the poor to share,
Tempest and fire and storms devour,
And claim your stores and house and dover,
Leave to thee nothing but despair.
50 let us gather build, prepare,
When earth's stores fail and death appears
We have a storehouse strong and rare,
Filled With sufficient for all care
Gods bounties-with eternal years.

ITS 4OTH ANNIVERSARY
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
URGED TO CELEBRATE.

The fact that the fortteth anniversary OF
the founding of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public occurs this year ia called to the at
tention of Grand Army men In general or
ders No. g. issued by Commander-in-Chief
James Tanner. No centralized celebration
is proposed. and the time Is left open, but 1t
is urged that appropriate exercises be held
by each post at a convenient date. at which
time each post, 1t Is suggested, should also
celebrate it's own anniversary. It Is stated
that the G. A. r.. at It's annual national en-
campment beginning August Is In Mime
apoiis. Mimi. will take proper measures in
observance of the anniversary.
General orders No. s reads in part as fol-
lows:
The fortieth anniversary of the founding
of our order occurs this year. The first
post of the Grand Army of the Republic
was organized at Decatur, ILL.,. April 6. 1868;
the first state encampment was held at
Springfield. Ill.,. July II, 1865, and the first
national encampment was held at Indlanap-
oils, Ind. November 90 1885.
From it's foundation to the present time
the Grand Army of the Republic has been
engaged in a fraternal, patriotic and holy
work. We have endeavored to feed the
hungry. clothe the needy and to make life
more comfortable for our comrades. While
We might have done more-an6 In this re-
spect we have not been an exception to our
common humanty-still it can be truthfully
said that the spirit has generally been will
Ing, and that we have faithfully lived up to
the PRINCIPLES of our order.
Proper to Celebrate.
ut is therefore proper that we should
celebrate our fortieth anniversary, a life
time Of honest endeavor, with rejoicing; and
as we review the past let US press on with
renewed energy to the work before US.
There are needy ones to keep, helpless ones
to assist tired ones to encourage, and, above
all, for our present purpose, there are many
comrades in war still outside our fraternity;
some belong to other soldier organizations,
some are not qualified for membership. but
there are many who would be gladly well
coined to our post rooms Now, comrades,
celebrate these forty years OF successful
sympathetic, soul-stirring work in a way
that viii make these old fellows want to
come to US to assist those who have borne
the burden and heat of the day. How shall
1t be done?
IN the first place. a particular date is
not SO important as that the anniversary
should be fittingly celebrated. For this
purpose 1t is suggested that appropriate ex-
ercises be held by each post on convenient
cate at which time the post should also
celebrate its own anniversary.
During the exercises review the work
workers. and let the celebration be an open
meeting. to which all soldiers and their
friends and relatives. male and female. are
invited. SO Shall it be a meeting of friends
with touch of the home about it, and may
the Old boys who are not of rs be as eager
to come in as they were in their Young
manhood to enlist
