THE DAY OF MEMORIES
By DR.. William e. Barton

G o far as know. no other nation has. or eyer has
~ had, just such day as this which every spring
we celebrate. 1t day sacred to holy memories that
recede farther and farther into the midst of our yes
terdays yet live again with the blooming of the flow
ers.
No nation ever did what ours did a half century
ago. The negro slaves did not rise up in insuA.cti l.,
and free themselves; not even Old John Brown was
able to incite them to rise for their own freedom The
black men were freed by white men Of their own land.
Nor would it be true to say that the men of the
north conquered the men Of the south and thus made
the nation free Southern men in great numbers fought
for the Union-lS0.0 Of them from the mountains
Of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and adjacent
states.
North and south had sinned together in The
establishment Of slavery; and the south had share
far from negligible IN its eradication. We are one ma
ton We were not sure about it in 1861 but we have
been sure Of it since 1865.
1t is blessed thing TO be able to put some sor-
rows where we can lay flowers upon them. The men,
ones of strife two generations ago should lie deep be-
meath the sod and on the sod should bloom not thoms
but flowers.
The men who fought in the World War were no,
the sons but tie grandsons Of the men who fought at
Vicksburg and Gettysburg and Richmond
Let US remember the courage and forget tho
terness Let us remember the principles for which we
fought and never forget that those principles are
established
Two facts the Civil War settled permanently: we
one nation. and that nation is an9 forever is TO be
a free nation. Let us remember that.

Our dead rest on.the breast Of France
And allsaround the world
Where by wars grim or splendid chance
Our banners were unfurled;
SO whether here or overseas
Their bodies chance to lie,
We nay Jul honor unto these
Who did not fear to die.
Because they dared, because they died
We and our nation live,
Cur liberty. our hope. our pride
We're gifts that they could give;
And since for all these gifts the price
Was life they held life cheap
And blithely made the sacrifice
Andslaid them down to sleep.
