by moral and religious convictions
The States were more united today
than ever, but were not entirely ce-
mented, but the question of the unity
of the States has never been raised
since. That war settled it. It is al
most unique in the history of the
world. England has been holding Ire
land, but the United Kingdom is not
a. cemented kingdom. Norway and
Sweden fell apart; Turkey held Mace
donia hard in her clutches, but was
forced to yield, but there is now no
more likelihood of conflict between
the States than there is between the
separate kingdoms of England and
Scotland.
The speaker branched off somewhat
from his theme to speak of general
subjects. He said he believed the
time was not far off when the Nation
would have uniform divorce laws so
that ali laws will be alike from Maine
to Hawaii; have laws to protect girls
from immoral men; laws to regulate
child labor; and there should be one
standard of home morality for all the
Nation Religious integrity Is the
strongest cement for a nation. he said,
speaking also of the fact that the
great corporations, insurance COM
panies for instance, seemed to be able
to commit deeds in violation of laws
which would send the butcher and the
baker to prison. The time was COM
ing, however, when it could no longer
be said there was no Sunday west OF
the Mississippi; when people Woulo
no longer flock to Dakota When phey
desired to sever the bonds Of matrl-
mony and to get rid of husbands
and wives as they got rid Of tuDercu-
Iosis in Colorado, while he hoped the
time would come when the gentry OF
the prize ring could not feel that they
could go TO one city and find it better
for their profession than another.
The speaker paid fine tribute TO
the men who saved the Union, direct
ing these remarks to the little group
of gray-haired veterans sitting just
below him.
The musical portion Of the service
was excellent. In the anthem, HarK,
Hank my Soul the solos We're sung
by Mrs Maekall and Mr.. Livingstone.
The offertory solo was sung by MRS
Mackall. with violin obligato by MIS-
Ernest Ross.
At the evening service Rev. Albert
:. Baker. MD, of Kealakekua, Ha-
wall, preached the sermon.
Services at First Methodist Church.
A large congregation listened to an
inspiring Memorial Day sermon II the
First Methodist church yesterday morn
ing, delivered by Rev. }. l. jones =.
D., in which was pointed out the JUSTIN
cation for the great struggle whlch
cemented forever the North and the
Sou+h The horrors of war were de-
Dicted and in a somewhat pesslmlstlc
way the speaker referred to the present
dav condition of the country, concina
ing, however, with the expression Of
faith that the right would ultimately
reign in America. Taking as his text,

The proverb long common in Italy IS,
