SERMON ON IMMORTALITY"
PREACHED FOR OLD SOLDIERS
from Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The annual memorial sermon to the
memory of the soldiers of the union
who have gone beyond were held at
the PRESBYTERIAN church last evening.
Several churches united in these SER
vices, and the large auditorium was
filled to its capacity, as well as the
gallery. A central section of seats,
well forward, had been reserved for the
ans Relief corps, and these marched
in in a body The ranks of the old
soldiers have been thinned, and the sur
vivors are Il little more gray and walk
with a little less firmness, and their
forms aer little more bent, than
heretofore, but their spirit is the same.
They close up the ranks that have
been decimated by Father Time, the
same as they did when their ranks
were decimated by rebel bullets.
few Gags gave II patriotic tone
TO the scene, and the services were
impressive. Rev. i. l.. Heermance
pastor of the Congregational church,
delivered the sermon, and Rev. f. H.
Wilisford presided, and Rev. w. y.
Jameson and c. b. Osgood assisted in
the services.
Rev Heermance's sermon was as fol-
lows:
Forty-Five Years Since the War.
Il realize, as ! look over this con
gregation tonight, that forty-fve years
have passed since the war. Those for
tytive years have wrought their
changes. The ranks of this post of
the Grand Army are thinned Within
the year | have myself conducted the
burial service of three veterans here:
George NJ. Keenan,, Evan b. Cooper, and
William Thomas, besides one in another
town. The survivors are, for the
most part, crowned with gray.
Il see many here tonight, whe like
the speaker, belong to a generation
that has grown up since the war. We
know its sacrifices and its heroisms
only through what our parents have
told us. through what we have heard
and read. But | believe there is an
advantage in speaking on this mem
orial Sunday for the new generation
You and your comrades fought to
preserve the Union for your children.
And your children tonight rise up TO
call you blessed. to record our crate
full memory of the noble dead. The
generation now living is, the product
of your sacrifices. As the fruit of
your struggle we know today no
north and south, no slave and free
/ can feel this gratitude of the new
generation. can give it expressnon
as one of your own number could
not.
Religious Meaning of the War.
Tomorrow, at the services of Mem
orial Day, in the Memorial Day adj
dress, we shall live over the events
of the Civil War, We shall pronounce
our eulo9y upon the living and the
dead. Tonight we seek rather the re-
ligious meaning of the war. As Chris
tian Soldiers, we seek to understand
Gods plans, to learn His lessons.

of an old soldier to new recruit.

of monuments. Every soldiers grave
that is known to rs is being marked,
by the national government, if un-

giving the soldiers name his company
