the first marked instance of a large
fallen in battle may be said to have
been sounded at Gettysburg, when, on
November 10, 1863, the national GENE
terry there, on the field where thou
sands had fallen on both sides, was
formally dedicated.
That occasion was one of those sim.
pie events which few of those present
looked upon as anything more than a
mere formality, but which have in them
the seeds of great popular movement
There, too, was delivered that address
by President Lincoln which, for it's con-
else summing up of an entire epic,
which the times of strife were still pro-
viding with incidents, remains I'M
equaled in it's quiet majesty, it's simple
language, in the whole range of Eng
lish literature.
The shouts of joy at the surrender
of Lee had scracely been lost on the
winds until the news of the assassina-

out the nation, south as we'll as north
The funeral services over the martyred
president, and the professions and the
lyings-in-state in the cities through
which the funeral train was taken,
aroused in a new sense the idea of
tribute to the fallen. In certain
sense the death of Lincoln at that
time may have fastened the sentiment
which finally took shape in Decoration
day. There Immediately were projects
for monuments to the great emanci-
pator, and the general tendency was
towards the debt owed to the fallen
soldier and his best friend

NATIONS TRIBUTE
Decoration Day in the United
States Sprang From Spon-
taneous Desire to Do
Honor to the Heroes
Who Had Fallen


The country was affected by the
sight so many men were caught in
the enormous bloody strife, in this
| Moloch's NAV, that nearly all who re-
manned could point to the grave of one
that had fallen, who was either rela-
tive or a dear friend.
The cost of that struggle to keep
the Union has, indeed, been put in dol
lars, but the real cost, the lives lost
on both sides, places the sacrifice in
another light, and cannot be estimated,
for the sufferers were not only the
fallen ones, but those who remained at
home and suffered, too
The south, naturally, was most Sc
verely shaken, and suffered the great
est loss, for the scene of the carnage
and of the greater part of the destruc-
ton of both lives and property lay
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Therefore it seems to have been poetic
justice that there, in the south,
the first steps should be taken to an
nually pay tribute to her fallen sons,
brave men, and where there were, too,
homes rendered desolate by the loss of
sons, fathers, husbands and brothers.
Within year or two the Union
troops had gained possession of the
gulf sections of the south, and it may
be said that it was in this section that
the southern women first turned their
attention to decking the graves of their
soldiers. The idea may be said to
have been spontaneous, and like many
another custom, may be said to have
been instituted by public opinion in
several places at the same time Ger
tainly it would be work of much diff
ficulty to decide just where the custom
really originated in the south.
Spring visits the south full month
before it's first harbingers appear in
the north, and as consequence it be-
came customary to strew flowers over
the graves of the fallen soldiers in
April, when flowers were fresh and in
bloom. For the first few years, and
until after the war, the custom was
only custom, and had not been or
ganized into an institution. 1t had
nothing like authority back of it; but
it was persisted in with that tender
feeling for the departed that by sheer
public opinion it became one of the
strongest kind of laws, that born of
custom.
1t requires the authority of the rep
resentatives of the people to enact a
law making a certain day legal holi-
day, but it does not require anything
more than custom to get the people to
turn out and pay public homage; and
they did turn out, carrying their arms
filled with flowers to lay on the little
mounds in the graveyards and little
cemeteries.
But while this was going on in the
south there was in the north, which
was quite natural, similar feeling.
1t. too, grew spontaneously 1t did not
require much to arouse the enthusiasm
of the people to duty of this kind, and

ceremonies will show that it merely
is an adaptation Of custom that is
so old that it's origin is lost in the
misty past The custom as we now
have it, as is very readily understood
and recognized, is new; it did not ex-
list before the Civil war period. And
yet, after all, this modern holiday is
but the general acceptance of an old
idea.
How long ago it has been customary
to strew flowers over the graves of the
dead may not be asserted with any
degree of certainty. From the earliest
times of civilization it has been GUS
tomary to pay tribute to the dead,
whether fallen in battle or died in
peace. There is something about the
custom that is inseparable from the
practices of civilization.
Our decoration day, or Memorial
day, as it is customary now to call it,
was only the result of the spontaneous
desire to pay tribute to the thousands
of brave men who fell in the great
Civil war. There was something ex-
traordinary which called forth this
spirit-a something that the present
generation may find difficult to thor
oughly comprehend and appreciate at
its true value.
A four-years' war had kept the ma
ton, both north and south, in a state
of commotion and excitement The
whole country, both north and south
had contributed its young men, it's
youths, and even many of it's men of
maturer years to the terrible struggle.
1t is not difficult to understand lust
what that means. Here was a de-
termined war that had sent to their
graves brave men from every part of
the country. That meant that in every
large town and in many village there
were men who went to the front who
never returned; many who did return,
only to soon be borne 70 sheir graves
at home.

Their Memory Cannot Fade.

The time is not far off when their
last reunion will be held and the
Grand Army of the Republic will be
no more. The mere thought of it
brings sadness to the heart. But it
should awaken other emotions. It
should bring more of sympathy, of
tenderness and of consideration for
these vanishing heroes who offered
the supreme sacrifice that the nation,
now SO strong and prosperous, this
nation that exists for all of us, should
not die.

LmcOM'S
Gettysburg Address

COURSCORE and seven years
ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation,
conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that
nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on great battlefield
of that war. We have come to
dedicate portion of that field as
a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But, in larger sense, we can
not dedicate, we cannot conse-
crate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated ii far above our poor
power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long
remember, what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us, the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for US to
be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before US; that from
these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to the cause for
which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have
new birth of freedom, and that
government of the people. by the
people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.
