A STENOGRAPHIC REPORT
OF the Memorial Sermon by Rev.
Sheard, May %, 1906.

Before | enter formally upon my
sermon this morning | want to make
an explanation by way of personal
history. | do this simply that you
may better understand the letter of
that which / have to say, and the
spirit with which | say it. l myself,
was too young to take active part in
the Civil War. My father was in the
war at the time / was born. ~
grandfather was the Oldest private in
the march with Sherman to the sea.
All my uncles and cousins, who were
old enough, were in the war. My
father-in-law was shot at the battle of
Chickamuga He lived sometime
after the war, but died finally as the
result of the wound. Sometimes
there were not enough men about our
place to even keep the family in wood,
and my mother and grandmother
gathered chips in the woods to supply
the fires | say these things simply
that you may understand L have some
sentiment of my own with regard to
this matter feeling OF my own with
reference to what | have TO say.
You will find my text recorded in l
Chron. the fifth chapter and the last
was Of God" This may seem a
strange text to Use at this time when
we hear so much about settling all
national disputes byQarbitration, but
/ use il for this purpose: to show that
God has been in some wars. All the
wars that have been waged in this
world have not been entirely Goddess.
There have been those of which it
may be said they were Of God" 1t
cannot always be said of wars, they
are necessary evils" A thing ceases
TO be an evil when it becomes a
necessity unless men had been willing
to suffer tyranny and slavery in its
worst forms, and be deprived Of all
that makes life worth living, war in
the past has been a necessity, and it
may continue TO be necessity until
man has still further outgroWn his
Selishness. We believe we are adj
vancing to the day when 'spearS shall
be beaten into pruning hooks and
swords into pillow shares" but perhaps
that day has not yet arrived. AT
least spears and swords have seemingly
had their place in the past.
Let no man say that war has been
an unmixed evil in the past. The
Hebrew, Persian, Greek, and Roman
wars, desperate and cruel as they may
seem, left in their track more than
ashes and bones. They were building
for the future. During all the death
and carnage, the riot and cruelty in
cident to them, Gods eye rested upon
them and his hand built by them, the

foundations of civilization--a civili-
of the ages. War in the past has
been a great civilizer. Those have
ever been the most civilized nations
that have had the most irregular
coast line. Such coast lines have
been an opportunity for intercom-
municdtiOn. Isolation of nations
means death of nations. Time was
when inland nations lived in isolation.
They came to their imaginary
boundary lines and peering over,
they faDcied they saw strange races
and strange peoples, and went back to
their hutS to recite their adventures
with monsters in the shape of men.
There can be no high civilization
under such conditions. 1t were
better that these nations should be
thrown into the stern clash of arms
than to live thus. 1t was better that
war should arise among them, and
blood should be shed, than that in
isolation they should die. They were
thrown into the mortar of war and
"brayed with the peStle of battle, !"
and the compound was an improve
ment over both and all. They crossed
their blood and sharpened their
brains and came forth to better
civilization. AS an illustration, the
Goth and Vandal must ever have re-
NAMED a rude barbaric people, and on
the other hand the Roman civilization
must have sunk deeper and deeper
into effeminacy and weakness until
entirely spent. But the Goth and
Vandal rushed down upon the almost
spent civilization of Rome. The
conflict was terrible; the carnage in
expreSSible but the result of the
struggle is modern Europe, and
better still its off spring America.
Let no man say that nations go to
war and spend their blood long and
treasure and then have to settle by
peaceable arbitration that for which
they fought. Our own national
history disputes this statement. Our
own nation has succeeded in every
cause for which it drew its sword and
unfurled its banners. Yes, it has
more than succeeded in most of them.
Unless men in the future become
more religious and have more Of the
habit of reading God in the affairs of
nations, our national history one
thousand years from now will be hard
to teach because hard to be believed.
When the history of our wars are
under consideration men will have to
read because the war was of God -
or else they will not be able to under
stand our great successes. Let me
take some time to illustrate this. In
the first place it was remarkable that
in the early colonial struggles our
weak colonies should have been able
to break the power of France and the
Indians. As men read of the French
and Indian wars ten centuries from
now they will need to read between

MAY BUY FARM FOR
CELERY RAISING
VIM. Clemenson, of Kalamazoo,
Mich, looking over lands in
this city for culture OF that

crops.
William ClemenSon, from Kalama-
zoo, Mich, was here recently, inspect
ing the muck lands north of the city,
with the idea of buying a tract and
going into the culture of celery. He
says that the soil is good celery soil,
out that it is too wet for even celery
at present.
Mr.. Clemenson says that, in the
large producing celery districts of
Michigan, celery blight is becoming
troublesome, aud several growers are
looking for new locations, where the
soil is not infected with the blight.
He went from here to Green Bay, but
expects 10 return before he buys land.
as he Is very favorabiy impressed by
our railroad advantages.
Mr.. ClemenSon says that celery
lands, located as close to market as
the marsh north of the city, and with
as good shipping facilities as we have,
are worth $4,000 and more per acre;
and their best celery lands were pra-
ctically mot for sale at any price, :"
before the blight became so bad,
Celery lands well drained and in prime
condition, with facilities such that
water could in dry seasons be raised in
the bitches, then often rented for
$500 to $500 per acre per year, and that
even now, for such lands as high as
$3.50 to 5000 per year, per acre, are not
uncommon.
On some of the celery lands, so badly
infected with blight that celery is no
longer a sure crop, the owners are now
growing very large crops of blackseed
onions and cabbage.
Mr.. ClemenSOn said thats as money
maker he would rather have three
acres of drained much land, such as
might be made of the old tamarack
and spruce swamps north of Grand
Rapids, than any forty &C farm that
he had seen in Wisconsin. All that it
needs is draining and thorough work.

A MENTAL ANGUISH CASE.
Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars Paid
for a Special Train to Carry Man
to His Dying Child.

Raleigh, N. c., February Il de-
cision just rendered in the State Su-
perior Court in Guilford county makes
a new departure in North Carolina in
the matter Of recovering damages
against corporations on the ground OF
mental anguish.
The Southern Railway is the losing
defendant in this case, and that the
company and other railway companies
regard the decision as very important
is evidenced by instruction which rail-
road attorneys received today, to take
an appeal and carry it to the highest
Court, which means that it will prob
ably be taken to the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
W. I. Young, whose family was at
the time in Greensboro, n. c., received
a telegram while he was in Chattanoo-
ga, Tenn, notifying him of the crit
ical illness of a child and urging him
to hasten to Greensboro, n. c. He
thereupon chartered a special train
from the railroad authorities there,
with the promise to land him in
Greensboro SIX hours before the next
regular passenger train, which would
not leave Chattanooga for several
hours. He paid 800 for the special,
but the special did not make the trip
within the time guaranteed, but act
ually got to Greensboro 20 minutes
after the regular train on the sane
system arrived there. When Young,
reached his wife and child he found
the child had been dead just one hour,
He sued the company for the recovery
OF the 500 paid for the special (Which
he alleges was hooked on to a slow
freight train for part OF the trip) and
for $500 damages, alleging mental an
guish. The jury has awarded him the
full amount Of the claim.
