MEMORIAL DAY.

Our old-fashioned Memorial Day has
been rather crowded aside this year by
the pressure OF events. In eager prepa.
ration for new war. on a tremendous
scale, we forget our former wars. Old
sentiments are swept aside by the new
zeal. Men and women feel instinctively
that the time for looking backward has
passed, that the great civil war Is n
chapter closed, that there IS no more
time for old memories and regrets.
II is not that the nation forgets 70

link between our times and the great
struggle OF the sixties There Is more
respect for them than ever. in the

dangers makes us visualize more clearly

But they have lived. Their work Is
done. They have their reward We
are constrained, in all reverence. 10
'let the dead past bury its dead" and
TO "act in the living present" as the vet.
Grams themselves would act were they
young once more.
We take from our old Memorial DAY
only the noble idealism OF the men who
fought our civil war for domestic free.
dom and unity and our Spanish war
for the freedom Of an alien race. Sen
timental regret turns TO vigorous hope
and action.
We are concerned today with volun.
