have offered themselves as a sacrifice for their

hardships of camp and march, or who have
fallen in the red carnage of battle have a pc
culiar claim upon the gratitude and affection

Memorial day which is characteristic OF the

1t is now an even hal-century since the be-
ginning of the stupendous conflict for the
preservation of the Union, and the anniversary
is bringing home with renewed emphasis the
sacrifices and the significance of those dark

Before General Logan wrote the order, in
1863 which was the beginning OF the popular

lightens the past and which shows us that the
blood and the tears were not shed in vain,
and that the fruition of the sacrifice justities
the seed which was sown.
