Observance Is Neces~
sary for Cultivation
Of Best in Our Civil-
ization
That Memorial Day signifies mono
than a payment of a. debt to the
dead of three wars. will be the key~
note of the speech scheduled to be
given today by the Rev. Frederick
H. Jacobs, pastor of the First Con-
gregational church.
As the speaker at the Memorial
Day Observances at Union Park this
morning. he will point out the serv-
ices rendered by [the mop. who fought
. in tthlvii War. the Spanish-Amati.
can War. and the World War
“Memorial Day signifies more than
the payment of a debt of gratitude.
it is‘ necessaiy for the cultivation of
an appreciation of all that is finest
and best in our civilization." he will
say y. 1
The full text of the a: each he is to
deliver follows:
' “Memorial Day is a. day of. mem-
crlcs. It is a day “lieu we are asked
to turn aside from the ordinary rou-
tine of business to drop a flower or.
the grows of those whom we hate
loved and lost a. while and to plant
a flag on the graves of those who
have paid the last full mcabure of
devotion upon the battle field that
America might continue to me as
the land of the free and the brave.
“it “as originally set apart as a
day upon which the graves of the
veterans of the Civil War should be
decorated with flags and flowers, but
it set a mu ersal chord of sympathy
old love \iblating in the hearts of
the American people which gave
Memorial Day a broader meaning
than its founders had in mind.
“' Custom Has Grown
“‘So thiougli the- years the custom
has grown of not only decorating
The grin es of Civil War veterans but
also the graves of fathcis and moth-
crs. little children, biotheis and sis-
ters and friends.
"The graves of veterans of the
Spanish-American our and of the
World War ate also included. The
day when we dccomte the graves of
our“ heroes and loved ones is consid-
ered w orthy indeed to occupy a place
in our calendai along side the
110mm of July. when he celebrate
the birth of a new nation. and of
Thanksgiving Day when we return
thanks to the Giver of all good gifts
for the abundant hunt-sis v. hich he
has bestowed upon us.
“He would be a shallow (‘1 pic. in-
deed. who would question the spli-
itual value,“ such a. day. Every true
American should gladly and rever-
neily participate in the colebuuon
of this day. first because it repre-
sents partial payment of the debt oi
gratitude we rightfully owe those
who have fought for us upon the
battle field.
Two Issues
"We rightfully owe this debt of
gratitude to the veterans of the Civil
War. They fought for principles
which were fundamental for .the
well-being of our country. There
were two fundamental issues in-
voivod. The first issue was to r‘ ‘ ‘
