VETERANS NATIONS WARS HEAR MEMORIAL
SERMON AT ALL SOULS UNITARIAN CHURCH

The thin little blue rank of vet
Grams of the great Civil Wharf.-The
members of the Seth Williams post,
Grand Army of the Republic-was
reinforced by the veterans of the ma
TONS later wars. members of the
James Fitzgerald post, American Lee
gion, and by the Sons Of Veterans
and members of other allied patriotic
organizations in attendance at the
annual service of memorial at the
All Souls Unitarian church Sunday
evening. The memorial sermon was
delivered by the pastor, Rev. Dan
Huntington Fem, and a special SER
gram of music made the whole ser
vice one of particular significance
for the week which will end with the
Memorial Day exercises next Satur-
day.
Rev. Mr.. Fem in his address to the
veterans and congregation said in
part as follows:
1T would re a gross presumption
upon the privilege you have done me
in asking me to preach the Memorial
Day sermon, if l were to use this oc-
cosion in trying to revive by vivid
pictures and detailed incidents all
the memories of the four years of
the Civil War in this country. Every
man has certain memories in his life
that are so personal to him and have
meant so much in his life that he de-
sires to keep them to himself, or to
a very limited circle of companions.
And Of such a nature are your remi-
niscenses Of the days which meant
so much to you in taxing to the limit
your sense of loyalty to country, and
drew SO heavily upon your spiritual
resources.
For an outsider to try to delve in
to that region and draw forth for
public perusal, the recollection of the
scenes and sights, the observations
and revelations which you have had,
not only of the worst side of human
nature-which must inevitably show
at times under var conditions-but
also the far reaches of devotion.
Of courage and of spiritual elevation
to which the human soul is capable
of rising, would be a most improper
thing to do. Those thoughts will be
in your minds only too easily this
week and on Saturday when you
carry on your Memorial Day exerci-
SEES and decorate the last resting
places Of your comrades who have
shared these experiences with you.
Much more fittingly can we honor
you and express to you our gratitude
for your services on our behalf, when
We review through the perspective of
SIS years the events of those years as
whole, and the significance of the
years which led up to the actual con-
f1ict. In such review we can now
see, since the bitterness of discussion
has passed the true underlying mora
and spiritual principles which were
ever working toward their fulfillment.
And as we now listen to the voices
which the roar of the cannon drowned
out and see the tendencies and the
principles which were obscured by the
dust of battle and the smoke of mus
kets. We are the better enabled to APP
preciate your true service to future

generations of which we are the first
benefactors.
THAT time has thus erased all bit
terncss and SO enables us to make such
an observation of the days of the past
was amply evidenced is years ago in
Atlanta, Georgia. In 1901 in that city
there was held a most interesting
meeting. In one of the largest
churches of the city the members of
the local Grand Army post and the
members of the Atlanta Confederate
Veterans organization united in a
service in commemoration of the CEN
tenary Of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin. And the man selected for the
orator of the day was himself son Of
a Confederate veteran.
I'm the course Of his address the
speaker made the point that the rea-
son that Abraham Lincoln is so hon
ored now is because he was able in his
life to grasp a firm hold upon the
great spiritual forces and principles
which underly life. And it is from
that statement that my own thought
has arisen for our consideration this
evening.
"A statement which, taken in con-
nection with the words of Gamaliel to
the group of early Christians in the
court room, given us very interesting
implications.
I'm that passage which was Just read
you will recall that Gamaliel says to
the members of the prosecuting group:
Refrain from these men, and let them
alone; for if this counsel or this work
be of men, it will be overthrown; but
if it is of God, ye will not be able to
overthrow them: lest haply We be
found even to be fighting against God
The implication in that statement is
that the great divine principles will
eventually make themselves realities
and be the ,conquerors of all people,
even including those who are in oppo-
sition.
Look back now over the days of
the Civil War and see how it is the
presence of the great spiritual nrin-
ciples, first of all in the hearts of
men, which has made them remem
bered to this time; and secondly in
the two opposing parties, one of
which survived and the other Of
which has been overthrown.
1.-THE greatness of General Grant
on the northern side is paralleled by
the greatness of General Lee on the
Southern; The Golry of Sherman is
matched by the skill of Stonewall
Jackson; the strength of a Webster
is equalled by the strength of CAL
houn; And the loyalty and bravery
Of John Doe in the Union forces is
not exceeded by a John Jones in the
Confederate ranks. What made the
difference was that one Of them was
found to be fighting against God, as
later events have shown, while the
other was fighting in cooperation
with the forces which the powers of
men cannot permanently overthrow
I'VE say cannot permanently over
throw. 1t is interesting to note the
number of times, prior to the actual
opening of the conflict. when it
seemed as If the forces Of those who

low overhanging roof is type that
is becoming very popular with home
builders. There is distinct charm
about these low comfortable looking
houses. In detail they are similar
to our early colonial homes. The

opposed the slavery system were vic
torious, and yet were not.
For it is that moral principle-the
right of any man to hold in subjec-
ton to the point of controlling the
bdy, the the time. the very soul of
another human being, even though
he be Of another race and another
color to such an extent that he could
deprive him of education, of normal
family life and even of his personal
dignity, which was the underlying
cause of the war. Some may say
that it was q purely economic war.
1t is true of course that The economic
factor was involved, and it is true
that the fact that the Southern
states were agricultural states, and
SO were unable to manufacture, dur
ing the war, the things which they
needed, contributed to their defeat.
But to say that that alone was the
cause is to disregard entirely the
moral factor which had laid hold up
on the deepest springs of action in
the human will and called forth the
powers of the Northern soldiers.
IF you say that secession was the
cause of the war, then you have
come to the root of the matter, for
there would have been no desire to
break the union had not the question
of the right to hold slaves been in
volved.
Notice, now, how this great prin-
ciple in the days before 1851 seemed
to be defeated by the acts of men,
In the first place in 1920 when the
Missouri Compromise. was passed,
the southern slave holder had won a
victory over the north. He had
succeeded in taking into the union
the state of Missouri as a slave state.
| Thus he won an immediate victory
in securing his point in thus enabl-
ing himself to get just that much
more voice in the national council,
and that much more area of slave
territory, for which he was struggl-
ing. Next Texas was admitted to
the union, with only comparatively
slight opposition from the north, as
a new area of slavery. The Mexican
war was struggle for more slave
territory in which the slave holder
was victorious. Then came the Flu
gitive Slave Law in the compromise
of 1850, by which the southern PLAN
tation manager again won his point
And even after hostilities had OPEN
ed the Confederate forces won at
Fort Sumter and the battle of Bull
Run.
But eventually and in the wide
area and in the long run, it was
demonstrated that the public con-
science could be relied upon to re-
fleet the forces Of God. The people
of California voted to enter the I'M
ion as free state and in Kansas
the same decision was reached by
the people. And then finally it was
the conscience of the people which
eventually aroused them to such
point that through tn four years of
our civil war they were able to keep
before them the vision of the princi-
pies for which they fought and
eventually make that principle over
through the forces Of men.
what better way can we who
have inherited the united nation
which men and women who had
seen the verify of that fact. and
handed down to us by their strug-
giles and their suffering and their
labors make our return of gratitude
and honor, than by seeking to ally
ourselves with the forces which can
not be overthrown?"

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 23.-The
bullet-riddled body of Grant Cole
was found Thursday morning by a
white merchant, E. J. Roe, near the
merchants home, who Immediately
notified officers.
Roe told the officers that he heard
gun shots during the night, but did
not see any one. Seven or eight
empty shells were found near Coles
body.
Police officials are investigating
circumstances surrounding Coles
death, and it is believed that Cole
was killed after an alleged insult to
a white woman. 1t is suspected that
a group of men kidnapped Cole and
took him to the outskirts of the city
and-riddled his body with bullets and
left him by the roadside where the
body was found.
