MEMORIAL SERMON TO VETERANS
Thirty-Five From sedavick Post With Relief Corps
Members and Sons of Veterans Hear Rev. P. C.
Wright.

For the morning service of Memorial
Sunday, Sedgwiek post. No. 1, G. A. R..
with Sedgwick. w. r. c., No. Is, and
Sedgwick camp, No. 4, Sons of Veter-
ans, attended the Central Baptist
church by invitation from the pastor
Rev. p. G. Wright, whose sermon, ap-
propriate for the day. was an eloquent.
discourse which reached an apprecia-
tive and sympathetic chord in the
breasts of the veterans and the mem
bers of the auxiliary organizations.
The three organizations marched from
the Buckingham Memorial to the
church, the Grand Army showing 35
men in line, the Relief corps thirty
members, and the Sons OF Veterans Il
dozen. They were seated in seats re-
served for them at the front of the
church.
A feature contributing to the inn
pressiveness of the service was the
special music rendered by the quar-
tette, which sang Hail Columbia. as
a professional; The Flag They Loved
So Well, for the anthem; The Battle
Hymn of the Republic, for the offer
tory; and God Be With You Till We
Meet Again. as the occasional
Addressing the three organizations
by name, the pastor extended to each
cordial welcome in opening his ser
mon, saying that it was our delight
to honor them because we delight to
honor our country and because we al

These Stones was the theme of the

hearers in magma ton to the Nation

tas, the eye can carry. are seen row
upon row of white stones. With only
2 small stretch of the imagination, one
may see these stones grouping here
and there from Atlantic to Pacific,
and the question comes: What mean
these stones?

these stones recall is spiritually de-

ship to the highest and hottest ends.
As We look upon these stones today
the spirit of war is gone, a new spirit
has baptized our nation. The sons
and daughters of this nation can see
these stones in new light They are
testimonials of love to noble men, but
every one is a profound argument for
national and international peace. an
argument written large in the sun
light of God.
1t is estimated that fourteen billion
lives have been lost in war since Ma
poleon began his campaigns and
these stones mean a terrible loss of
American manhood, one million of its
best type giving their lives IN our own
war What would they not have meant
10 this nation in brain power, physi-
cal perfection. moral tone, energy and
enterprise in the last fifty years?
These stones mean economic loss to
the nation, for it is estimated by Gen
era1 Sherman that he destroyed three
hunder millions worth of property in
his March to the Sea, and it has been
estimated that since the French revo-
luton, war has cost the nations of the
world not less than forty billion dol
lars. Today there is not a civilized
nation that is not spending more than
half its income for preparation for a
war that can't be seen in the sky as
big a s a mans hand. These stones cry
out: Great is the value of peace!
What would not the millions in lives
and billions in money have meant to
the world or the nation.
Again we pause to look upon thest
rows of white stones and those groups
upon a thousand hills Standing in
silence. our patriotic souls pay tribute
to their loyalty. bravery and victory,
but matchless pity fills us as we
think. Men are brothers. They have
a holy, common Father. and does it
not seem that after these centuries
and centuries of the teachings of God
that men possessed of brains and
Conscience could stand together and
settle their differences in other ways
than by bloodshed and war. Let war
cease and let there be a federation of
the world. Let love and reason rule.
Teach the children and chi1dren's chill
dren not the glories of war, but the
glories of peace. Teach them to hear
Jehovah, to walk in his ways to obey
his commands, building in them an
even manlier patriotism than We have
known.

THE NEED OF
CONNEcTicUT'S SENATE.
As Set Forth by Rev. p. c. Wright is
Bigger and Broader Minded Hen.

The New of Connecticut's Senate
was the topic of Rev. P. c. Wright
sermon on Sunday evening at the Cen
trail Baptist church.
Indicating that the subject was
brought up by the recent vote of the
senate in favor of the bill legaliZing
the sale of liquor in hotels on Sun
day under certain restrictions, he said
that they had thereby brought dis
grace and shame into the sisterhood of
states by opening wide the door to an
institution which means less man
hood, less womanhood, more misery
and more wrecked lives. What the
senate needs and what Legislature s
over the land need is bigger and broad
er minded men in them. men whose
guiding principle is not to get and to
have, but to be.
He said that he trusted that when
this bill should reach the house these
legislators might recognize a higher
ideal than satisfying the appetite for
drink and the greed for money; that
they might recognize the higher ideal
that God had given of aiming for the
high and noble and better things.
