Sacrifice Essential to Ideal
Life, Says ReU. c. E. Perkins

At the memorial service held at st.
Paurs Episcopal church last evening.
Rev. Charles E Perkins spoke from
Genesis 49 :2-"Bury NE with my fathers
in the cave that is in the field OF Eph-
ron the Hittite." Rev. Mr.. Perkins said
In the nomadic life Of the patTiarchs
there was one spot that became sacred.
Il was a burying place. AS they went
from place to place. with no permanent
abiding place, this one spot became en-
deared to them. At least they might
have one spot 10 look forward to where
their weary bodies might have Il final
resting place. 1t became the home for
the WornOut body.
so il would seem upon this one day
OF the year with US. The Inhabitants of
our land travel a great deal They seek
to better their physical condition. But
wherever they may be today they are re-
minded of the history of the country. The
bodies of heroes laid to rest have made
the soil Of the land sacred. These faith
full ones of old have made our homes
possible. Before them we stand uncOv-
cred and bedeck their graves with sweet
flowers and would ever cherish their
memories with the sweetest fragrance.
They have not only made our home
possible, but our land has become the
home of countless thousands of other
lands Our country has become the asy-
lum for the political refugee the slave
Of economical tvrants comes to our door
and asks permission to enter. With out
stretched arms we welcome him as

WAR VETERANS HEAR
INSPIRING ADDRESS
Prof. W. M. McKendrick Speaks at
Memorial Services in COngTe-
gatiOnal Church.

Many OF those who attended the annual
memorial services yesterday at the
First congregational church were moved
TO tears when the memories Of the greas
rebellion We're brought to their minds i'm
the forcible address of Prof. W NJ. Nc
kendrick. The address was undoubtedly
the best that the Grand Army and menu
bers OF the auxiliary organizations have
had the pleasure Of listening to in many
months
The services were presided over by
Rev n. S Eldevkin. After an organ
prelude by Miss COnroy and the singing
OF hymn by the congregation. Rev II.
ID. Zimmerman read the first scripture
lesson; Then solo, 'Tenting Tonight on
the OLD Camp Grounds by Miss Gun
nell. Rev. W. W. Fleetwood read the sec
ond scripture lesson. The recitation AN
Ante Bellum Sermon" was delivered with
great effect by Miss Pearl Levan Stan
ley A double quartet of boys from the
State Industrial school rendered Lead
Kindly Light" Prayer was offered BY
Rev. G. w. McCreery, efter which Mrs
- n. Hess sang The Flag Without q

Miss Conroy, rendered a flute solo.
American Fanasic."
Tn his address Prof NcKendrick began
by stating that three great questions
were drawn from the Civil war He said
the first was the show Of sentiment eN-
listing between the commanders of the oD-
posing forces; the second was the senti-
ment and feeling existing between the
sympathy shown by the two opposing
armies on different occasions. To illus
trate the last he recalled the time when
the northern ana southern armies were
camped ON c3cn side of the Raniim riv-
err In the evening while the CampfireS
were cleaning the federal bands on one
side of the river played YANKEE Doodle"
and the star Spangled Banner" The
rebel forces on the other side OF tHC
river immediately gave mighty cheers TOR
the patriotic AIRS Then the federal band
played Dixie which brought forth adj
uitional cheers. Later the band PLAYED
Home, Sweet Home"
Mr.. Mckendrick then told Of what the
war had taught the people IN regard TO
patriotism and what IL should teach the
young. ia closing he stated that Memor-
ial day was the nations great sscra-
mental day when the OLD. battIe-scarrel
soldiers came together i'm remembrance eff
the trials and sufferings Of the four
years struggle. He said that il was
more Of a Memorial day than a Derora-
ton day. But that 1t afforded an avenue
for the old soldiers 20 express their SYM
patty and feelings for the cause that is
dead and gone
Mr.. McKendrick closed with the lines
from Kipling; Lord God OF hosts. he
with as Yet, lest We forget, lest we for
get"
The entire congregation arose and sang
America All remained standing while
