When the nation ceases to revere the memory of its heroic dead, it shall perish. But so long as our people show proper reverence for this day and its hallowed associations, the nation shall live. Republics, may be ungrateful to deserving civilians and still exist, but to ignore the country's preservers, living or dead, is to seal the nations doom. In observing this Memorial day, therefore we seek to keep green the memory of the departed and to honor the surviving comrade. This Memorial day had its origin in the comradeship which resulted from the perilous association of our national defenders It resulted from a desire upon the part of the survivors to cherish the memory of the messmate who fell in the defense of his country. The pathos of the veterans annual pilgrimage to the grave of his comrade, has touched the tenderest chord in the American heart. To-day the. people with one voice say to the Grand Army of the Republic, "Be not alone in yonr griefs for your sorrow is our sorrow, yonr dead are our 1 dead We say to these comrades, that, according to the immutable laws of nature you may go hence, but this anni versary which you have instituated must be observed after you and we and our children and our children's children shall have passed beyond. It must be observed in every part of the land so long as the flag you defend continues to be the emblem of national unity and greatness. It will as there are Sons of Veterans and a National Guard. In a-measnre, a grate ful people have introded npon the san ctity.of your grief. Yet without sacri lege. for these for whom we mourn ate the people's dead' They may not be bound to us by the ties of comradeship but they are our fathers, our brothers, our kindred, as well as their countries sons and your comrades No selfishness enters into the solemn rights to day. Private griefs are merged into one com mon fraternal sorrow. Seventy mil lion people as one bereaved family at the grave of a brother. "Nothing is done in vain" and terrible as it may seem, we now believe that the holocaust of 51 and 80 was ordered by the great "God of War." The wholesale destruction of the flower of American manhood was necessary to the completion of our country's history. Of the individual, it has been said that "A Christian man's life is laid in the loom of time to a pattern which he does not see, but God does and his heart is a shuttle. On one side of the loom is sorrow and on the other is joy and the shuttle struck alternately by each, flies back and forth, carrying the thread which is white or black as the pattern needs and in the end, when God shall lift up the finished garment, and all its changing hues shall glance out, it will then appear that the deep and dark colors were as needful to beauty as the bright and high colors. With the nations life as with the individual, "the deep and dark colors are as needful to beauty as the bright and high colors." We will not question the wisdom of the Omnipotent being who shapes the affairs of nations as well as those of men. We will in our sorrow, try to think, that the deep-hued streams of blood shed on many fields of battle, were needed to blend with the pure white of peace and the true blue of loyalty and give beauty to the national fabric. We know that without this day our year would be incomplete. It has become apart of our lives, a part of ourselves. On Independence Day we rather in our might and pride on Memorial Day with a consciousness of human weakness and in humility on July 4th we boastfully proclaim that we are the greatest nation on earth. On May 30, in deep contrition we prove it. Peter, bold, aggressive, defiant, was great Mary, first at the tomb of her master was greater. Of all the days in the American calendar, this is the best. It is the most fruitful of all in its teachings of true Americanism, for today not only do the living speak, but from the lives of departed heroes we learn the lesson of national greatness selfish devotion gives the American the pleasing assurance that all his countrymen are not mercenarios. It proves to us that everything is not done for money consideration, that patriotism is a divine attribute. So, today we come to render our tribute of flowers and gather to gain new inspiration at the shrine of liberty, we come to guard the mounds which mark the heroes resting place and to bless his memory we come to thank the "Lord of Hosts" that the valor of the men has made this one mighty nation that they did not allow the house to be divided against itself. And, what is national greatness? What will the people of future centuries regard as greatest in the life of today? Will it be the commercial spirit of the age, or American inventive genius, or statesmanship, or our institutions of learning or our achievements in the field of literature or the development of the arts and science? Others will compete with us for a place in history along these lines, but none can rival with us with a citizen soldiery such as the North and South sent forth to battle from '01 to '62). Both armies were recruited with the bravest of the brave. You did not go down there to fight an army of cowards. You were Americans and your foe, though wrong, were Americans. You had the courage of your convictions they fought desperately for their delusions. It was your duty to teach them the right. You did it. The task of educating the recreant Southern brother was a long and arduous one and as part compensation you and the fallen comrades are entitled to the country's eternal gratitude. The man who attempts to belittle that conflict to teach my children that my fathers were a puny one, does it at his peril. Only a coward will chastise a weakling and the father who responded to Lincoln's call, was no coward. The length and severity of the struggle proves its magnitude. Its outcome proves that we were right and history will say that both armies were composed of soldiers. The patriotism of the trying time is worthy of emulation in this day of individual dishonest and official corruption. It is good for us to cease for a time our pursuit of the too almighty dollar, and come to this sacred place. It is well to lay aside our paper with its story of the conviction of men high in the service of city, state and nation with its tale of fraud in private transaction and call back the spirit of '61. No, the spirit of that year is not dead. This was proven in '98. At times it may seem to slumber, but the story of the Civil War will live forever without eternal vigilance. The story of the Civil War is a tragedy, its record of all-time and keep green their memory, but do we show proper respect for the survivors. Do we salute the Veteran whom we meet every day upon the street? Do we realize the significance of the little bronze button upon the breast of his coat, or realizing its significance, does it fail to arouse the latent patriotism which is a part of our being? Does "familiarity breed contempt?" God forbid. Oh! my wealthy countryman, does a needy veteran live within a stone throw of your palatial home camps, bleak and dreary with winters slush and sleet, reeking with the pestilential vapors of a Southern swamp in summer. Devoid of the accustomed comforts of a home and the tender refining influence of a mother. See him, alone at night on sentry duty, in the enemies' country, his post a perilous one and upon him grave responsibilities are resting. Upon his vigilance depends the safety of a sleeping army. An army must have Generals, but without the faithful performance of the sentries duty, there would be neither army nor Generals. And on pay day when he receives his miserable pittance in a depreciated currency not good enough for the foreign bond holder who seeks to prolong the war for personal gain, see him. Send it all home to the widowed mother in the North. Then. By the misfortunes of war, his regiment is called into action. The stealing of his men, tried. Ask his comrades—they say that "he fought valiantly that day." The patriotism of the true soldier was aroused and the excitement of battle nerved him to deeds worthy of the most valiant knight in the days of chivalry. He seemed a stranger to fear and where the clash of arms was the fiercest, there he was. At last the tide of battle turned and he was among the wounded. Comrades learned to love the boyish hero and bleeding and unconscious they tenderly bore him to the rear. Spirits were administered to bring back and reinforce the life which hung by a slender thread. Weary days and nights of suffering followed. Too weak to take solid nourishment the soul was kept in the emaciated body only by the use of gruels and stimulants. All too soon he was released from the crowded hospital and rejoined his regiment. Staggering under the load of knapsack and rifle, he often fainted upon the forced march and was only able to keep his place in the ranks by a continued and increasing use of stimulants. Supplied upon the march and not strong enough to keep up with the retreating army, he became a prisoner of war and soon witnessed the horrors of that earthly hell. Andersonville. When released from that terrible place, health and strength were gone and liquor sewn a constant necessity to the soldier who had sacrificed health and happiness. On the alter of country. And so today is not only a "Memorial" to our soldier boys, but also to the brave women of war times. Her story is as thrilling and important a part of war history as is recorded. No student should overlook the story of Clara Barton, of brave Mother Byckerdyke whose presence on field and in hospital was as welcome as an angel, or fail to read of that high-born lady Mother Angela, who was a Eweing, a cousin of Mrs. General Sherman. It was she who did much to perfect the hospital system of the Union army. And there was "the eloquent and talented Mrs. Livermore whose labors for the betterment of the sanitary condition of the army, has made her name immortal. We might indeed be proud of the obligation and I mention Dorothy Lix and Amy Bradley though our people with increasing thousands observe this anniversary each year from now until the end of time and are well that the noble women of Iowa, the University, be dictated to the principles for which the Union army contended and a laggard congress be aroused to a sense of its simple duty and pass a liberal service pension bill—still the interest on the debt of gratitude due our soldier-sires, would not be paid. should rear a monument upon the field of Gettysburg and the name of Jennie Wade be immortalized. Not only would we honor these noble women, but also the thousands of lonely mothers and wives and sisters and sweethearts whose names do not appear on their country's roll of honor, but whose suffering remains have never been written—the names were as great as the wounded soldier of the thousands who sleep in unmarked in the hospital. The heart-ache of graves, have not been revealed to us but these women will never be known, the lesson of the conflict will endure forever to their God. ever, and on the resurrection morn the When we thiuk of the soldier whose the sacrifice made in the Civil war will life was ebbed away 011 the field of! be rewarded. battle, also remember the anguish of' This does uot liquidate our indebted-! the women at home.

Perhaps in war times the pathetic sight of a soldier's family in distress was unavoidable, today it is avoidable To,permit a veteran's widow to suffer for the necessities of life, is an 1 insult to the flag, to the veteran soldier, to the women of war tim?s and a dis grace to the community which permits it When the war was over woman's work did not cease She still maintains her organization for her country and humanity.

He may tell us that the common people who furnished this byy of '61 was as fair and pure as the country with a Lincoln and the you would have your youngest son. soldiers for his army, can be trusted in The boy was frail and succeeded in enlisting. It has taught us that the commoner versatility and genius can adopt it self to almost any condition that, almost any difficulty can be overcome that the military strength of this reunited republic is so great that no foe threatens our shore today. It should teach us in times of financial stringency which visits all nations, that a country with recuperative power sufficient to overcome the material loss of the war, will in time, unaided by any nostrum labeled "re" Medial legislation" build upon the wreck of the panic a business structure more substantial than the one it replaces. It should teach us, that in this prosaic age an army was raised more valiant than the followers of any plumed knight in the days of chivalry. It has shown us a race of men and women as patient and long suffering as the apostolic martyrs. Then the duty of the hour is to study our country's history and needs, to qualify for intelligent and loyal citizenship to encourage all patriotic movements. Support in their noble work the Grand Army of the Republic, the Woman's Relief Corps, the National Guard, the Sons of Veterans, the Loyal Legion, the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Society of the Cincinnati. Make American history next to holy scripture, our book of books. Keep the flag constantly in mind and view. Teach the young to revere it and know its story. Grave responsibilities indeed have accompanied this heritage: Young men and women of my generation, while yet we may, let us learn from their own lips how these men, its brave defenders, preserved old glory, for us proclaim by our deeds as well as words that, there is no country like our country, no flag, like our flag, no soldiery like these fathers of ours. Honor the memory of the dead brighten the pathway of the living, build firmly for prosperity, guard zealously our sacred liberty, treasure the glorious heritage, keep green the memory of nation's benefactors. Strive earnestly to be worthy descendants of a race of heroes and to honor thy father and thy mother. Notice of Probate of Will. In Probate.
