We are debtors to the past. Grander
than the pyramids or the catacombs are
the soldier graves at Arlington Heights
and Chattanooga.
The wars of Alexander spread Greek
civilization into Egypt and Asia; of Rome
resolved the known world to law and or
der; of Charlemagne suppressed barbaric
invasion; of the Reformation brought re-
ligious liberty; of England in India, in
troduced the civilization of Christian
naton of America with Great Britain
effected liberty; and of the North with
the South made unity.
Our nations growing splendor has its
roots in the graves of men who feeling
life was short, and that as individuals they
sustained but simple relations to wife,
property and child, were moved to climb
the Calvary of death and sink beneath
the sabre's stroke or bullets crash, smil
ing as >sweetly as if it were mothers or
lovers kiss.
The flowers we strew on their graves
may wither, with no kindred one to yearn
for their renewal, but not so these buds
which drop from our hearts, over
Swallowed by the petals of our love. 'Let
blossomed beauty wave to deck heroic
grave" and may that act bind our hearts
with softer links to the eternal garden
where our loved ones shall blossom and
bloom without decay.
Our first war was for independence
our second war was for Unity, our third
conflict was for Republican institutions.
Standing on the bedrock of personal liber-
ty, judgment and conscience, we recognize
no loyalty but worth, and place in the
hands of all who live beneath the Stars
and Stripes, the Declaration and Constitu-
ton. Our mission is to make our land
Christian American in all that pertains to
virtue, sobriety, intelligence and liberty.
One language, one country, one flag, one
school, one constitution, one undying right
eous hatred of whatever is un-American
in principle or practise is our creed.
AS goes America so goes the world in
all that is vital for its moral welfare. In
the years to come may we be no more
Southern Democrats or Northern Republi
cans, but citizens-no more English
Scotch, German, French or Irish, but
Americans-no more Roman Catholics o,
Protestants, but Christians. May the God
of Washington and Lincoln hasten the
time when Love shall put out the fires of
anger and plant in its ashes the tree of
peace; when all mems good shall be each
mans rule; when universal prosperity
shall rest like shaft of light through all
the circle of the golden year.-G. l.. Nor
riH, Pastor Peoples Church, Minneapolis

against him. Shawkey made 246 hits. His
batting average was 246.
O-Why do we always shake hands
with the right hand ?-B. Z.
A-Because in the days when people
were not as peaceable as they are now,
every man carried sword or dagger to
defend himself. This sword was worn on
his left side, where the right hand could
quickly grasp it for use in time of peril.
When a man wished to show that he was
friendly, he extended his right hand,
which would be casped by the others
right hand, if he, too meant peace. Thus
each would be sure that the other would
not draw his sword.
