MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
Principal Features OF Observance OF the
Day in Audubon.

Memorial Day is a sacred day,
sacred to the memory of the dead who
have given loyal service to our coun-
try. And it should be observed in the
same spirit in which it was dedicated
forty years ago. While we revere the
memory and extol the deeds OF those
who now are gone, let US not forget
to show due respect and honor to those
who remain. Their ranks are thin
ming year by year, and the steps of
the living are becoming more feeble
at each Memorial Day. With tears
and flowers for the dead and regard
and honor for the living let ms observe
this sacred day with thoughtful minds
and thankful hearts for what we enjoy
because of the sacrifices of those whom
we meet to honor.
The memorial sermon before the old
soldiers and members of the Relief
Corps will be delivered next Sunday
morning at the Church of Christ by
