DAY OF HIGH SIGNIFICANCE
Memorial Spirit Has Become Much
More Than a Mere Tribute to
the Heroic Dead.

Every time the people of this coun-
try observe Memorial day the obliga-
ton becomes greater. For each year
whom Is owed the debt of gratitude
for services rendered In the develop
ment and preservation of the nation.
This is the true spirit of Memorial
day, to commemorate the services Of
those who wrought for the republic,
who served 1t in its hours of trial,
who died for 1t. Originally conceived
as an occasion for the bestowal Of
memories upon those who fell In the
wars, the day has broadened, as it
should broaden, into commemora-
tion of all who have given of their
talents and wisdom as well as their
strength and their life blood that the
United States might survive and grow
and become an institution for the high
est achievements and the greatest hap
piness of man.
Those who have given their lives,
or who suffered in bodily hurts in the
wars in which this country has been
involved, naturally come first in this
reckoning of honor and praise today.
But true patriotic service is not meas
ured solely by military duty, great as
may have been the sacrifice entailed
by it. Craftsmanship and citizenship
in times of peace as well as In times
of war have contributed to the up
keeping of the national ideals.
1t is, perhaps, the best of all
thoughts inspired by Memorial day
that tokens of gratitude and reverence
