work of all who at home or in the held.
In humble station In great place toiled

our people have been pricelessly endowed.
The nation so preserved and 80 enriched
can never forget its mission.
Your meeting points a contrast. We are
today united people. rejoicing In undis-
solved and indissouble union. The hero
ism displayed both sides of that great
conflict has become common heritage.
Past animosities are buried without for
getting past services. No line north or
votion to national ideals Year by year We
more highly appreciate the necessity and
value of this unity, and north and south
join today IN Thanksgiving to God that
we are marShaled under one flag, enjoying
the peace and prosperity which union only
can secure.
Your meeting with its imposing reminder
of pat lotto sacrifice. cannot but serve as
an inspiration to fidelity in public service.
The same flag which foated the
armies in the field floats over the public
buildings in which are gathered the chosen
servants of the people. That flag for whose
honor you were ready to gioe your lives
demands the same loyalty in time of peace.
Patriotism Is not limited to times of ma
tional conflict. but Is equally expressed in
every form of service where love of coun-
try risa above love of self.
IF the same generous ardOr If the same
readiness to put the cause of the Union
above all personal considerations which
characterized your service on the field OF
battle Is displayed in the administration of
every department of our government and
in the maintenance of the cause of the
and oppression, may look forward to
victories OF peace no less significant and
notable than those in which you won and
conferred lasting glory.

WOULD RETURN TO Y. M. C. A.
Man With Progressive Ideas Appeals
to Court for Rights.

NEW YORK, September n-Argument
will be heard by Supreme Court Justice
Abbott in Brooklyn next week on an order
to show cause why the German Young
Mems Christian Association should not re-
instate Charles w. Philipbar as a member
Mr. Philipbar is a lawyer and takes a
deep interest in church and charitabl
work. He lives at 14S Hewes street and
he's been the means of getting many young
men to join the association. 1t Is said that
his activity worried the members of the
board of trustees. who believed in going
along at the same cd jog and were not at
all DESTROYS of being up-to-date and that
they resented the proposition OF Mr.. Philip
bar TO sell the old headquarters at $40
Flushing avenue and purchase a new build
ing in more congenial neighborhood
AT any rate Mr.. Philipbar was expelled
from the association and in some OF the
aff1davits it is alleged that Mr.. Philipbar
and his friends had said that the title of
the organization should be changed from
Young Mems" to RIP Van Wink!e' asso-
citation. and that when the old board dis
charged the entertainment committee, Of
which Mr.. Philipbar was chairman Mr.
Philipbar characterized the act as .'un-
Christian and dastardly." The old board
could not stand for the "dastardly" char
acterization and Mr.. Philipbar was ex-
PEELED.

and 50 for burying a child. The undertakers
now demand $50 for burying an adult and
