MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR HE-
ROIC DEAD.
And Thanksgiving for Those Who
Returned Home Safe and Sound.
The Presbyterian church was
crowded on Sunday night by a large
audience anxious to witness and par-
ticipate in the union thanksgiving
and memorial services held in honor
of those who died in the service of
their country during the world war,
and thanksgiving for those who re-
turned home safe and well. Just pri-
or to the opening of the services
twenty-eight of the soldier boys
marched into the church and were
ushered to seats reserved for them
before the pulpit. Dr. Ambrose
M. Schmidt, of the Reformed church,
presided and briefly explained the
purpose and character of the service.
In conclusion he announced that four
out of the eight Protestant churches
in Bellefonte had golden
on their service flags. At the Reform-
ed church are two, for Luther D.
Miller, killed in France, and Harry
Ott, who died at a training camp. At
the Episcopal church one gold star
for Arthur Undercoffer. At the Meth-
odist church, one for Edward B.
Brooks, killed in France; Harry
Waite, killed in the Philippines just
on the eve of his company leaving for
France; Ira Wolfe, who died in serv-
ice, and Richard Evey, reported miss-
ing but now believed to have been kill-
ed. At the Presbyterian church,
Frank Bright Crissman, who died of
wounds.
(At St. John’s Catholic church there
is a gold star for Charles Doll, killed
in action in France; one for John
Cunningham, who died of disease
while in training, and one for J oseph
Anderson, who also died in a train-
ing camp.—Ed.)
Following the above announce-
ments Rev. Wilson P. Ard led in
prayer, and Miss Russie Cole sang
«Now the Day is Over, Night is
Drawing Nigh.” Major H. Laird
Curtin, former captain of Troop 1,
First Penna. cavalry, was introduced
as the first speaker and though his
talk was brief it was from the heart
and showed his high regard for the
boys he helped to train. He said:
“Jt is fit and right that we should
gather here in this sacred temple and
pay tribute to the memory of our de~
parted comrades. By their memory
we pledge anew our love and patriot-
ism to the flag.” Speaking of the sac-
rifices our country has made during
this great conflict he said: “All our
sacrifices cannot compare to the sac-
rifices of those who gave .their all
Two years ago there came a call to
this town, and it is of the first of
these units who heard that call about
whom I come to speak. These were
the first of the thousands who have
gone from this county. Today on the
roster of Troop L we have five gold
stars, for Trumpeter Frank Crissman,
Lester Breon, Edward Brooks,
Charles Doll and Charles Kuhn. When
the reveille sounds in Heaven you will
* find them there in glory.”
Rev. Dr. Leonard, of the Lutheran
church of Williamsport, who spent
more than a year in service in France,
was introduced as the principal speak-
er. He took as a text for the even-
ing I John 5:4—“This is the victory
that overcometh the world, even our
faith.” Beginning his talk he said:
“For their bravery, their magnificent
achievement, I bring to you a mes-
sage of comradeship. I am mot here
to preach to you. I do not want to
advise you. I want to share, if you
will’ permit me, the comradeship of
victory, of sacrifice, of courage, and
bring to our hearts the message con-
cerning the things that matter most
in life. To bring to our attention
some indispensable convictions, and
some of the great things we want to
see established in life and the great
things of the world. I want to speak
to yeu as the Master spoke to men,
not from the desk or pulpit, but in
the midst of you. When the Master
spoke to men he would take them out
into the fields, out into the open and
speak to them of the vital things that
enter into the foundation and princi-
ples of life. When He spoke to His
disciples He took them out where the
music of the wind played among the
trees, out where the birds would
sound their songs and where the
voices of little children mingled with
other glad sounds. And He tore from
their hearts all those things that are
not worth while, those things that
lead to useless worry, all those self-
ish things of a material and sordid
life, and He placed in their stead
some magnificent principles, ideals,
hopes and the spirit of comradeship,
that they might realize in their con-
duct and relation one to another all
the magnificence of His great words.
So in that spirit of comradeship to-
night, for all these, our comrades,
who have returned, and in sacred
memory of those who lie sleeping
across the sea, Oh, God of Hosts, be
with us yet, Lest we forget, Lest we
forget! Tonight we think of those
whom we never can forget, whom we
never dare forget.

: Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high!
| If ye break faith with us who die
| We shall not sleep, though poppies blow

“Lest we forget, my friends. This
| is the great danger against which we
| must guard by eternal vigilance. We
| must take up the torch of liberty and
| freedom and must renew the broken
! hopes of mankind. And so I want to
| point out to our hearts tonight, my
| fellow citizens, as Harold Bell Wight,
| in the “Shepherd of the Hills,” gives
in the preface of that book the mo-
tive of the story, where he pictures
two trails, the one leading down over
| the mountain side into the valley be-
low, where travelers pass from the
light down into the darkness and
shadows of the hills, the other path-
way leading up to the highest peaks
of the mountain, where one can see
the traveler toiling up the hillside and
finally reaching the top and the light
where the glory of the sun still lin
gers. So I want to point out that lat-
ter trail to our hearts tonight. I
| want to challenge us to take that up-
| per road where all the great and the
good and the free spirit of the ages
is, where men have left their name
and their mark and have achieved
| glory and honor. And if we take that
| upper trail and accept the challenge
| that the times throw at our feet, we
| shall find, in these great reconstruc-
| there and great and glorious victo-
| ries. :
“Now men are we willing to live
for these principles, as our comrades
have been willing to die for them. So
1 want to point out two things princi-
pally: The first, the great conflict,
the second, the glorious victory.

commented upon the scarcity of ice

any ice, while very few get as much
as they want, and we feel assured
that if Mr. Kelley remodels his plant
so as to produce from four to five tons
a day he will have no trouble in dis-
posing of his entire output. But the
only way to make it a good paying
proposition will be to bring it up to a
capacity of all the ice there is demand
for in the Bellefonte market.

At a memorial service in honor of
Roosevelt at St. Nicholas church, New
York, which he attended as a boy, the
pastor remarked that the dead man’s
favorite hymn, from his chiléhood, was
“How Firm a Foundation.” That, also,
was the favorite hymn of General Lee.
It is notable that the same words ap-
pealed to these two men, whose fates
were so strangely different—the one
successful and triumphant practically
ail his life, the other a defeated soldier
and victim of many sorrows. Yet the
dilettanti will tell us scornfully that
the verses loved by these strong hearts
and moving them through years of in-
