It was the Department of the Interior. lded over by an estimable gentleman rem the State of Georgia, whc,by virtue of his allies. controls and directs the act- ion of the government upon the pension claims of the living veterans and the widows and orphans of the dead soldiers of the Union armj. Such a thing as this would have been semi-d tnoredit is thirty years ago. That evening. I attended a session of' the House of Representatives, and when I could no longer control my thoughts to the subject under discussion. weary of the sound of human voices, I wandered out upon the southern portico of the capitol and looked down . upon the city. the broad Potomac, and the Virginia hills beyond. It was a beautiful view. The glistening marble of the buildings, the foliage dotted with electric lights. the glimpses or the river and the dark shad- owe of the cake of Arlington. all touched and softened by the b ight light of a full round moon. but as I ooked upon it, and remembered that within those shadows and beneath those grand old oaks, thou:- ands upon thousands of Union dead lay buried in unknown graves, and that all over this land homes were still and, and, hearts still bleeding for the loved ones gone, I wondered if the result achieved was worth the awful sacrifice. Com- rades, the only answer I could give to my thoughts then, the only answer I can make now. is that God still lives and rules in the sfl’airs of men. end in his own time all things shall be made clear and plain to those that trust in Him. I am glad Memorial Day has come again. glad that the living veterans of the war will again cover their dead cont- rades’ graves with flowers, and mark them with the Union dog. for by this not you teach to the young men and women of today a lesson of patriotism and self- sacriiice; you honor the cause for which you fought and once again proclaim your firm belief that it was eternally right and ust. And not to you only, but to our grate ful countrymen as well. is re obseriu ance of this day a high privilege and hol lioy, and even when the last veteran shal tnve gone to his reward. and the Grand Army be no more, to this whole nation, made free and kept united by our valor, Memorial Day shall be a benedyiction. Already your example has stirred the patriotic blood of others who sprang from the founders of tliiehation and, the. relics and the records of those early years are precious treasures now. Gtveto your children the momentous of your soldier days, the epaulets and chevrons, the old buttons, the pa rs of enlistment and dischar e, and tel them the story of your life. old your Grand Army badge as a sacred thin , for it will always be to them a source 0 ride, and it may be, in future years. wil be an in- spiration to keep them true to God and country. More than three thousand years , (lod sent a deliverer to his chosen peop e, and by his own strong arm he brought them out from Egyptian bondage and made them to be a nation from which the Saviour ot' the World should come. Through all the centuries since. the passover of the Jews has been the me- morial day of that deliverance. Just as surely as in ancient times, He leads and guides his pic now. and as a nation we are he d and kept in the kind and loving care of our Heavenly Father. Abraham Lincoln and the Union army did not are. as the hosts of lsraerdid. the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, at the Lord was leading them and they were his hel rs in the mighty work of destroying s awry. treason and secession and preserving upon the earth the gov- ernment of the people by and for them- selves. So thinking and believing. Me- morial Day is to me a holy ds , sacred tothe memory and consecra by the blood of those who gave themselves for country’s sake, and to secure the bless- ing of liberty to future generations. But friends, it is not enough that we should assemble once a year and units with the old soldiers in singing patriotic songs and reviewing the memories of the war time. No man is doing his duty to his country or himself, who simply enjoys the result of the struggles and sacrifices of other men, and has himself, no thought or care for those who will come after him. it may not be our lot to offer up our lives or endure great hardships in our country‘s service. but as good ctt- izens. we must be faithful to the trust reported in us, and give of what we have. time. thought and money for the Na «tion's welfare. In a republic, each citi- zen is a king. who by his vote declares his will. No law. however good, will enforce it- self. aud no law. however bed. can be en- forcod against the moral sentiment of the pe tple. We can protest a slant bribery and corruption at the po is and in our legislative halls, and cast our own vote honestly. We can by our example show our respect for law. and enforce a like observance from others when anarchy and communism are ram t in the land, and we can see to it t at the rum power and the saloon shall not control our politics. We can educate and train our children in the fear of the Lord, and teach them love of country, and if we but do these things. the founders and saviours of this government. will not have lived and died in vain. May this nation ever honor the Grand Army of the Republic, ever hold dear the day which commemorates its noble deeds and never relinquish the priceless legacy which it has bequeathed to us. m.-..~... .......

Oh. that one wotild give me drink of the water of the' well of Bethlehem. which is by the gate"—-Il. Samuel xxlli..15. The pastor said: “David lived in the times when might made right. He had three grades‘of braves in his band ohm. ~ All acknowledged him as their superior. David was also intellectually and spiritu- ally in advawe of his age. He had an intense nature not embarrassed by con- ventlonalities. He was a child of nature. Such men are the partial-writers. ‘Your even tempered. always proper men are good for the brunt and battle of life, but when you want your battles put into song. you must call for the Davids. "There are thousands now such Davids. But convention beats them down.‘ . "This ‘ longing’ of David was a touch of homesickn’ess. The years had been eventful since he had left his home to be- come miustrel at the court of Saul. When he longed for a drink of the well by the gate of Bethlehem. he was longing for a taste of the home-life. This home-longing we have all felt. No- body makes such bread as our mothers did. ‘ I do wish I could get a piece of apple pie such as my mother used to make.’ Every husband says that to his wife. it is a touch of home-longing. There is a song which. if a Swiss soldier hear in a foreign service, he will de- sert and go home. or die of homesick; uses. The song was never written which has taken such hold on the heart of men, as ‘Home, sweet Home.’ " A thrilling incident was related illustrating the home longing. This was also a long- ing for the innocence of the home life. It is'sad to grow old. he said. but it is sadder to come into age with old sins un- forgiven. Therein nothing more mourn- ful than to hear an old man sigh for the days of his childhood. But we may be- come children again, “Verily, verily, say unto you. except yo be converted, and become as little children. ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. David's three brave heroes brought him some of the water of the Betlebem well. But at the price of blood, and David oflered it to God. It coetbiood to open the foun- tain oilifeior us. the blood of Christ: The fountain is opened. and all may drink and live. W EST P0 in .

Post did not have any pub. lic services this year, but visited the vari- ous cemeteries in a carryall and decor- ated the graves of their comrades. The bank, post-oilice and principal places of business were closed, and everything had the appearance of Sunday.
