nett, VIM. w. Barker, P. f. Sturges,

in the services.
The music by the large choir was
unusually good and added much to
the pleasure OF the occasion.
Rev. Mr.. MacColl took for his text
Ps. III To-" And / said, this is my
infrmity but 1 will remember the
years Of the right hand of the most
High" The speaker said these we're
the words of man iii a great conflict
who could find help in contemplating
what God had done in former years
for his people. He drew the lesson
that in these stirring times the hearts
of men should be strengthened and in.
spired by the remembrance Of what
had been accomplished by the men OF
old In this country. He especially al
luded to the services of the veterans
before him, of the hardships and pri-
yations they endured to save the ma
tion in its extremity. The funda-
mental principle Of this government
is liberty, and it is now a question If
the conditions in this country are not
in such a state that the condi-
tions OF some men and women toilers
are not as bad if not worse than that
of the slaves in the South under the
slavery system. In closing he charged
all to cherish the precious heritage
secured to us by the soldiers of the
Civil war.
