;can ClTZen-Sodler tried conclusions
with himself-the Civil War, which
rocked and shook the country and
strained the very fabric of govern
ment.
A generation still upon the scene
fought the Spanish-American War,
and made Cuba Librei an accomplished
fact. giving the people of the Gem of
The Antilles the right to self govern
| nent.
Then has come the great world
war, in which on land and sea, under
the depths of the waters and in the
air, the American-civilian fighter,
was measured against the most high
iy trained armies and navies of one
of the greatest monarchies the world
has ever seen; and rolled back those
puissant forces, and crumpled them
like one would roll scroll. This has
been the last and greatest effort of
The American civilian-soldier.
~"Let us not deceive ourselves with
belief that the end has come to eff
fort New successes bring new duties
end responsibilities. And the Amer
;can people are yet to face other and
greater problems in civilization and
GOOD government. But let us have
faith that whatever bet;de, the Amer
lean people will be equal to any
emergency, and will resolve all is
cues as they should be resolved.
"The mystic chords of memory,
stretching from every battlefield and
every patriot grave, draw us to the
altar whereon the nation has laid al
| ways its brightest and best; so let us
move forward in the duty of the hour,
which at this time is to care for him
who hath borne the brunt of battle,
his widow, and his orphan"
Following is the prayer offered by
Reverend Leffingwell:
20 eternal Father Who makest Thy
dwelling place in heaven, yet dost
condescend to behold and visit the
lowly habitations of men, Thou art
the King of kings and Lord of Lords.
3he blessed and only Potentate of
earth and sea and sky. Thou art the
God of our fathers; be Thou also tbe
God OF us, their children. Help US
worthily to honor that great army OF
those who died for our welfare,
Help US duly to commemorate and
emulate their loyalty and self
sacrifice. And grant that, finally.
we and they, together with that vast
glorious host of the redeemed, shall
march to our native home, our father
land, our true inheritance; headed by
our great Commander-inChief Who
shall say; Come, We blessed of My
father, receive the kingdom prepared
for you from the beginning of the
world We ask it, in the Name of
Him Who Himself died to save us,
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen"
