 Comrades, the recurrence of Me- morial Day again reminds us, the sur vivors of the great conflict of forty five years ago, which happily resulted in the reunion of the two sections of the country then at warfare, that our earthly duty is not yet finished, but that we must still continue to respect and honor the memory of our fallen comrades who have preceded us to the land where conflicts are never known. Since last Memorial Day twenty-one of the comrades of our Post have left our ranks and pitched their tents on the evergreen shores of eternity, and we have our duty to perform this Me- nlorial Day in decorating their graves with the beautiful blossoms of Spring. While these tributes of the Creator which we yearly strew over their graves is. continually a living inspira- tion in every heart, the time is short when we, in the course of nature, will join them, and our ranks will then be as complete as when we performed our duty as soldiers and sailors In the sad and trying day of the long and terrible war which gloomed the country that we love and for wcich we periled our lives.
