1t IS right and fitting that a day
should be set apart to honor those
who had made the supreme sacrifice
/ by Offering and giving their lives for

He described 'thc conditions Of
the allies before America went into
the war. and said that although the
enemy had been held back by the
allies for four long years, that 1t was
| tho great force and strength of Amer
lea which thrown in the balance fin
ally won the war.
| He said there were two great Amer
! leans whose names should be kept
| peculiarly sacred by the people-the
/ simple, big hearted lofty minded
| Lincoln. who stood like a rock at the
crisis when the rebellion threatened
to destroy the unity of this great re.
/ public, and the silent warrior, Grant,
who carried the arms of the north
/ to final victory.
| Col, b. NJ Chiperfeld was then in
/ troduCed by the commander. Col
! Chipertield recalled the fact that in
! his boyhood he was a resident of
Marsellles, his parents having resid-
! ed here for several years, his father
! having been pastor Of the Methodist
| church here. And his mother ocCas-
ionally filled the pulpit when the need
arose.
! Col. Chiperfeld needs little praise
! for all who have heard him know he
| is a finished orator But upon this
occasion he seemed to rise to that
/ exalted plane inspired by memories
| of the day
! Mr.. Chiperfield opened his address
| by particularly referring to the war
of the rebellion. He said it was the
| greatest war fought for the greatest
/ principle the world had ever known,
