After singing "Tenting Tonight" by
the auartctte, Rev. George Thurlow
gave some pleasing remarks. Mr..
Thurlow said in opening that he felt
that all the cards had been played

10 say. lie said that he felt that the
American people could not hold such
meetings too often as We were so
likely to forget the great men who
had done wonderful things for their
country at great costs. Mr. Thurlow
said that the thing he felt the mos.
thankful to Grant for was that he
took the load and burden off the
shoulders of President Lincoln and
that we should love and honor Grant
as the leader of orr American army
and Lincoln as our political leader.
The last speaker was George w.
Cover and Mr.. Cover stated in open
ing that each of the speakers had
given part of his speech but that
he wished to speak for the encourage
ment of the young people who are
unable to carry the highest rank in
their classes and he stated that Grant
graduated from naval academy in
class of 80 and stood only the Git in
rank and that he had given perhaps
the greatest service OF any to his
country and that they too may give
great service to their country in the
future. Mr.. Cover said that to the
most of the people present Grant was
only character Of history and that
only the few remaining of the Post
realized what his. and their service
which made Grants great success
possible meant to them and to their
loved ones at home and to many
during the World War it had been
given to know what the service really
was. That the service of the great
leaders can not be separates from the
soldiers who stood behind them and
