pie. we need to have the sacrificial
spirit" The next principle was, the
speaker believed, the spirit Of SER
vice. THE men of II went out to
serve. Service is for the other fell
low, to be not for self. but for
others. God himself is the greatest
server of all creation. He works and
labors to carry on the world, he
works and 1abors to carry on the
world. he works for us, His children.
The thing is to dedicate ourselves. in
the words of Lincoln, to the unf1n-
ished task before us. to take up the
wars with the foe. the foe of unright-
BUSINESS. the foe of sin, and our dead
will sleep sweeter under the poppy
fields of Europe, and under our own
fair states"
The benediction was pronounced
by Rev. George G.. Reeves and a
march by the band closed the exer-
