HONOR THE MEMORY OF
WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN

Will you allow me, please, through
your paper, to say word to the
preachers and teachers among your
readers?
In certain sense February is pat
riotic month. In it come the birthdays
of Washington and Lincoln-the 22nd
and 18th respectively In behalf of
the Grand Army of the Republic, what
is now left OF the great army of boys
and young men who in Civil War days
fought for our flag and saved our
country from disunion, | wish to ask
every patriotic minister of whatever
denomination to preach some time this
month a sermon based upon the life,
service and character Of one or both
Of these greatest two Americans. It
seems to me that no discourse at this
time could be of greater value.
Also, ] may say to every teacher
that we Grand Army men hope he or
she will lead the boys and girls in the
presentation of programs in school in
connection with these birthdays that
will inspire them with high ideals Of
Americanism. while they at the same
time honor the memory Of the two
men who are so dear to every true
American Every truly patriotic
teacher should feel it a privilege as
well as a duty thus to impress for
good the minds and hearts Of our
little citizens.
