That the meaning derived from the
Memorial Day exercises is commenicrs

which Rev. Charles E. liar-to, I).D.,
pastor of the Not-walk M. E. Church.
in his sermon, imparted to his large
congregation last night at the union
services hold in honor of the members
of lluckingham’l’oot, G. A. R. The
significance of the exercises, Dr. Bar-
to declared, is found in the tribute
paid to the courage and patriotism of
those who sacrificed their lives for
their country. .The educational fea-

length by Father Finn. He said that
he had read the comments upon the

and felt that the work of the dead
priest had been appreciated. "He was‘
a man not easy to know." said Fath-
