sealed and sanctif1ed by their blood,
settled the question of the unity of our
republic. Time has woefully thinned
the, ranks of those who survived the
holocaust of the worlds greatest civil
war and ere many years their presence
with us will have reached the vanish
ing point. Our people today
with. solemn procession and loving
hands heap flowers upon the graves
and at the tombs of the millions of our
dead, who by their lives and deeds
made certain the birthright of every
American citizen and proved to the
world that nation founded upon the
principle that one man stands on an
equality with every other man in the
sight of the law. ~. The price
paid was beyond estimate, the victory
won was a gift beyond value to the
whole world"
I The speaker led Up to the present
trouble with Germany: how we had
tried to keep out of the war, how our
country was being menaced, and how
the autocracy of the old world was
about to grp us. How our president
came out strong on the side of democ-
racy, and now we are into it how we
are going to help make the world safe
for democracy. The speech was in ev-
cry way worthy the occasion. and al
though delivered under adverse cir
cumstances, hit the mark and went
home to the hearts and minds of our
people.
The singing of america" and the
benediction by Rev. Jas. Opie brought
the days exercises to close.
Memorial Sunday
There was a nice turnout to tho
Memorial services a the M. E. church
on Sunday. There were but four old
veterans in line this year-H. F. Eaton,
M. Keating, H. H. Hanson and Leonard
Dill. The Women's Relief Corps acted
as escort occupying seats back OF them
at the church.
Rev. Aaron Wolfe of the Presbyter-
ian church, which church united with
the Methodist for the service, made
patriotic and stirring address. He
had been on some of the old battle
fields of the civil war and had even
made memorial addresses there, hence
was able to give very instructive ad-
dress. Special music was provided fol
the occasion.
