COMMEMORATIVE SERVICE
For Captain Walker Blaine BeaIe at
St. Marks Church

The Commemorative Service for
the late Captain Walker Blaine
Beale at ST. Marks church yester-
day afternoon was a touching trib-
ute to his memory. 1t was held at
the same hour, $50, as the service
at St. Johns church in Washington.
There was large attendance.
Among those present were General
George Mel. Presson, Major Will
liam c. Goodwin, Captain Lester NJ.
Hart, representing Governor Milli-
ken and the State, Chief Justice
Leslie C. Cornish, Mayor Willis E.
Swift, representing the city, and
Hon. Harold NJ. Sewall. chairman of
and representing the Committee on
Public Safety. This Committee has,
since we entered the war, been oc-
cupying the Blaine Home, the free
use of which was rendered the
State by Captain Beale Immediately
after he had been given, on his 21st
birthday. March 20, 1917. large in
terest in the Homestead.
The service was a special memoir
ial service which has been used IN
England and was impressively con-
Quoted by DR.. J. Alexander O'Meara,
the rector in charge. The music
was by the Boys Vested Choir, of
which Captain Beale was formerly
n member. and consisted in part of
old familiar hymns. On the altar
were the man, beautiful flowers
which had been sent by friends.
DR.. O'Meara paid beautiful trib-
ute to our boy; in service and to
Captain Bea.e. He said in part that
the church had for the dead, one
service, the same for high and low,
prince and peasant, king and sub
ject, and, that it might be the same
for all. it was not the custom in
such service to make remarks.
This was a special service and held
amid most unusual times. 1t was
therefore fitting that a word should
be spoken for those brave souls
who had entered the service of their
country. They were symboliZed by
the stars of the service flag which
hung outside the church. in honor
Of those who had gone from this
church into that service. The most
Of these stars were blue and we
hoped the dear boys would come
safely home again. But two were in
gold upon the red field which SYM
bolized service and one of them
represented Captain Beale. A ster-
ling young man and loyal citizen,
generous. brave. unselfish, he typi-
fled and lived up to that type Of
young American manhood, than
whom there is no better in the
world. From ancestry. family con-
nection and his own powers he had
given promise of a splendid future.
All this he, freely gave to his coun-
try. He and many others like him
had given all. Nobly had they
lived and died. AS long as men ad-
mire and cherish singleness of pur-
pose. high ideals, noblest impulses,
unselfish sacrifice, love of country,
so long will the memory of these
young men remain fresh and be
revered. In a high and noble burst
Of patriotism they served their coun-
try and their God. May there be
granted to him and to them. rest.
For them there will be life perpet-
ual and Of further service in the
world beyond.
