DECORATION DAY.
Wind and Rain Drive the Services
Under Shelter.

On account of a rain cloud the
exercises for Decoration Day in
Mexico last Sunday afternoon had
to be held in Fraternal Hall, in
stead of at the cemetery as intend
ed.
A. c. Whitson had charge as
master of ceremonies. After a
short address he introduced Rev.
w. \. Shullenberger, who made
The address of the day. He talked
on Fraternalism.
The speaker compared the val
ne in which human life is held in
this age with that of
ancient, medieval and even early
modern times. ContraSted the
new dignity of life with that of
the old and cited Alaric and
Alexander among the ancientS
whose regard for the individual
life was nothing. Mentioned
Napoleon Bonaparte as a modern
characterand contrasted the value
in which life was esteemed then
with now.
From the time of Nero on
down thru the ages, the nobility
of Europe, when they killed a
peasant during a stag hunt, were
relieved of legal prosecution by
the payment of trihing sum. so
meagre was the valuation placed
upon the life of man.
With the spreading of the fra
ternal spirit among mankind, all
these customs and laws have
changed. We are being lifted to
a higher plane. With the advent
of modern fraternities, the schools
and laymm's movements. cru
sades against all sorts of existing
evils have sprung up.
eve have learned that flowers
on a grave are poor substitute
for kindness, love and benevOl-
ence during a lifetime and that
present usefulness is far greater
than a past remembrance.
1.-THE memorial service is but a
by-product of fraternalism. The
spirit of fraternalism tends to
make one value the life and hap
piness of another; to protect and
care for each other in the days we
are on earth. "
After the exercises at the Hall,
and when the rain had subsidized,
many persons went to Elmwood
and decorated the graves of their
dead with flowers.

services at the Hall were the fol.
