Rev. Mr.. Phalen's Address

Rev. Mr.. Phalen spoke in substance
as follows:
One hundred and forty-two years
ago today, a little group of Minute
men, together with scattering of
farmers and citizens from the towns
of Lexington and Concord, began the
struggle for liberty and equality among
men which resulted in the birth of this
mighty Republic of the United States
of America. Fifty six years ago this
month of April we began a struggle
among ourselves to test, as Lincoln
said at Gettysburg, whether this ma
ton or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure" and by the
grace of God, and Abraham Lincoln,
together with the loyal men and
women of the Union, that nation did
endure and our Republic lives Noday.
Once more we are at war but this time
it is not struggle among ourselves
or for ourselves alone but to defend
and maintain the common rights of
humanity as the President has said,
to the end that freedom and democ-
racy as well as peace may be the her
itage of these children, and of the
thousands across the. seas. Not for
gain or glory; not for conquest or ag
grandisement have we flung forth the
battlefiag but for the honor of our
manhood and womanhood, and the
political salvation of our allies. Let
none say this is an unrighteous war;
let none think that we should stand
idly by while others fight for us.
There are no neutrals in this
war" said Douglas when Fort Sum
ter was fired upon. "only patriots and
traitors" We feel the sentiment must
be true today and we are thankful
that the spirit. of the patriots whose
memory we honor this day is still
opportunity to prove to all the world
that we have not forgotten that this
is the land of Washington and Lin
coin, and that their ideals are still
dear to our human hearts. BY
this glorious flag bought with the mites
Of the city's children. and raised in
honor of all our living dead, let US
dedicate ourselves once more to God
and country and to the cause of lib
erty and equality among men.
You officers and men Of N Company.

wish you well. We expect you to win hon.

1t has been suggested that in these
DAYS when patriotism has come to the
fore it would be appropriate to have
"Old Glory" displayed from old Fort
Western. Built in 1854, this old build
ing has come down through the cen
turtles unscathed and stands today as
sound as it was in the days when the
logs which compose it were first put
together. It has long outlived the pur-
poses for which it was erected, but 1t IS
replete with historic interest and 1t
would seem that to adoln the building
with the American flag would be an
appropriate act.
