call to members OF the G. A. r. and the
general public for the observance of Lin
coins birthday, as follows:
1.-The near approach of the 18th of Feb
ruary Calls to mind the life. the service
and the tragic death of the first martyred
President of this republic. Abraham Lin
coin. AS Washington is justly called the
Father Of his Country so Lincoln. more
than any other man. may properly be styled
Its Sayfos. The father we are removed
from the times and spirit of the civil war.
the higher the appreciation of the charac-
ter of this noble man, until now all are
willing to accord him full recognition for
his great qualities.
TT has been suggested to me that as a
recognition of his patriotism and the ven
Grafton in which his memory is held a gem
eral display of our national emblem should
be made on his birthday. This suggestion
has been conveyed to the commander-in-
CHIEF of the G. A. r., and by him embodied
in a general order, which will be sent
throughout our Organization.
Il therefore call upon all the comrades Of
this department, who can possibly do so,
to display the national colors from morn
ing TIL evening on the 18th of February.
and l cordially invite all public-spirited and
patriotic citizens to cooperate with us IN
thus doing honor to the foremost American
of the nineteenth century,
1T is suggested that G. A. r. posts hold
commemorative services"
