Bishop Swengel Speaks
Bishop U. F. Swengel was the
principal speaker of the afternoon
in the Harrisburg Cemetery. Oni-
cials of the Grand Army posts pre-
sided and also took part in the serv-
ices, after which the Spanish Amer
lean War Veterans and Sons of Vet
Grams conducted the ceremonies over
the graves. AS on all former me-
mortal observances taps" sounding
over the large burial ground signi-
fed that once more the few surviv
ing veterans had honored their COM
rades and that a few more names
had been added to the list of those
who will not answer at the rollcall
of the living. Taps this year meant
more than ever before to the throngs
who attended these services for now
there are hundreds lover there" and
of them, few have already given |
their all and were honored too to-
day.
Churches took an important part
in the program. Members of Jew
ish synagogues held a special OBJ
servance; joint services of Market
Square and Pine Street Presbyterian !
congregations were held in the Mar
ket Square Church following sep |
arate services earlier in the day. |
The Revs. G. E. Hawes and L. S. |
Nudge spoke. Members of Episco-
pal Churches met in st. Stephens |
Church at IL o'clock when the Rev.
Leroy F. Baker spoke.
The Rev. Harry B. King of Pax
ton Presbyterian Church, presided |
and spoke at the services in Pax |
tang Cemetery this morning. Mem
bers of Post 5S attended the cere- |
monies. Special morning services |
were held in Ohev Sholom and |
Chizuk Emuna temples, and many |
of the Jewish faith observed the |
day by fasting. A service flag was
dedicated at the latter temple fol-
lowing a parade of Y. M. H. A. |
members.
All city, county and state offices
were clased, in addition to banks and |
a large majority of business houses. |
