Wy along. hove in sight. There
vas nothing noticeable about the

"A task is remaining before
American citizens today just 40

Abraham Lincoln spoke whom he

address," Rev. o. B. Enselman said
in, his address before members OF
war veteran organizations who
gathered at Wesley Methodist
church for Memorial services yes
terday morning.
THE task that faces as Is the Sc
curing Of peace. We fought this
war not as an end in itself, but rs a
means to an end, and that end is
peace. We must see that we obtain
this peace for which we 60 lately

I'VE are here this morning i'm
PEELED by a motive Of self-forgetful
ness, to pay a willing tribute to mel
who made a sacrifice than which
there is no greater many years ago
Let US remember the spirit Of to

We remember the unselfish spiri
which moved these men to carve GU
their chapter in this country's his
tory.
"A real memorial shows appre
citation for something that has bee
done. If this memorial is to be al
that is possible We must demon
strate our gratitude for service i
time Of trial by preparing ourselve
to render similar service"
| The Lincoln speech at Gettys
burg received tribute, in the ad
dress, as the greatest memoirs
that was possible to have been DE-
livered for any cause.
| All that anyone could, or ca
say, in honor Of those men VIII
, fought for freedom was said by Abrs
ham Lincoln on that field nearl
. fifty-eight years ago." The speake

that will always be appropriate b.
cause they are immortal.
i, when speaking of the hero
deeds which have been accomplish
ed in this country, We should be;

The fool-killer., 1921-10-01

But the old out-of-date Jungle
methods of government are going
to peter out pretty soon. The big
smash-up which is certain to fol-
low the Disagreement Conference
will just about finish these old
fang-and. claw governments, and
then q more civilized system of
government can be established in
the world, so that the science of
government can take it's place
along with the other progressive
things.
Then it will be possible for all
the people to get the benefit of
these great inventions and discov-
cries. They are coming in now
for that very purpose to be here
ready for the glorious Millennial
Age. These things will be largely
instrumental in making the earth
an Eden.
