GRAND ARfiflY POSTS PRESENT
Those Who Are Members of the Colo
nel Monies Post Attended Services
nt Pcnn Avenue Baptist Church.
Ezra Griffin Post Were at the First
Presbyterian Church Both Were
Eloquent and Thoughtful Efforts.
Services comiupmorntivo of Memo
rial Day v.oro held last evening in two
of the city churches. At the First
Prestiytorinii Re. Jimea Me.Lod, D,
D, proHcheit t.i Lieutenant Ezra Grif
lin post, No. MO, Grand Army of tho
liepnblic, and nt the Penu Avenni
Baptilt church Uov. Warren G. Part
ridge addressed the (.olonol Monies
post. There were large audiences
other than tits veterau9 nt both ser
vices At the Pran Avenna Baptilt ohorc h
nearly overy seat in tin auditorium
was occupied when ut 7.83 o'clock the
Colonel Monies post was escorted to
to tho church portals by Companies A
and 13 of the Hoys' brigade. Tho vet
erans first filed in and were followed
by the younger orgatnzntiou. This
feature of thv passing of the old nnd
coming of the new was nn impressive
part of tho programme.
The services included tho singing of
8pcci.il hymns such as "Onward Chris
tian Soldisrs," "Amsrioa," etc.
Iiev. Mr. Partridge's nddresa was
from Deuteronomy xxxiv, G: "No man
knoweth of his sepnlobrs until this
day." From the leading of the slaves
out of bondage byjHoaaa. was drawn
the thought that according to God un
evil and a uatiou's welfare are not com
patible. The address was us follow-:
This text mfors to Moses who was a val
iant soldier and a consumatu general. He
led a horde of slaves from tho fetters of
Egyptian bondage to the frontiers of their
own flee and magnificent country of
Canaan. From these slaves lie equipped
nnd disciplined nn irresistible army of BOO,
0(X! heroic soldiers aud led them success
fully for forty years through tho wilder
ness and fouuded n free and powerful na
tional! ty.
This general endured tho shock of battle,
tiie mutiny of his soldiers, tho hardships
of long marches in a hot and hostile coun
try, and at InHt came through this bapti.nin
of Mood, vnnqnished every foe and stands
in the forefront of history n3 tho greatest
military of ancient times.
Thousands of these bravo soldierH found
their graves in a strango countrv. and no
monument commemorates their heroic
deeds or perpetuates their memory. The
winds of tho doi-ert for four-thnifand
years have mourned a requiem over their
graven and they will (leap in uuknown
gn.vo3 uutil tho resurrection morn.
lu memorial day our own nation docks
with flowers the gravui of thoio who fell
in our own civil war to preserve the Uniou.
What a vast number of these graves aro
marked "unknown." Of tbaSMqa of slain
Vote rani it ran bo said as trnly as it was
of Jloses, "No man knowoth of bU 83pul
chre unto this day."
BOTES FRUITS OF HF.BELLION.
There are in oar country 83 the bitter
fruit of rebellion, seven ty-nino national
cemeteries; of those nil, except two with
only n few hundred interments, contain
unknown graves. These seventy-nine
cemeteries are found in Alabama, Ar
kansas, District of Colombia, Florida,
Georgia. Illinois, Indiana, Indian Terri
tory, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana.
Maryland, Mississippi, iMisonri,Nebrnka,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Mouth Carolina, West Vir
ginia tweiitv-four states, one territory
and the District of Colombia. The whole
number of soldiers who are buried m onr
national cemeteries is 818,170. Of this
vast number 140,870 aro marked "un
known." To what a multitude of regimonfs and
companies they must havo belonged nnd in
what a multitude of hospitals, inarches
and battles they must have fallen. Im
agine these graves "unknown" rising to
life, clothed in their uniforms of biue, each
seizing n musket.
Hero would be a vast army of 140,000
vialiant men who wore our brothers. They
were tho llower of our Anglo-Saxon race.
Most of them woro in the prime of life.
Thousands of them woro young men and
many of them were only boys.
We think not today bitterly of tho en
emy; we think not of partisan strife or of
factional animosities. Wo think only of
the nation's dead and tho great lessons of
their livos.
Wo soo in these soldier's graves tho
sublime lci-sjii of self-sncritico. It is com
paratively easy to give your time, money,
or your labor to a great caate; but to give
your life is the most difficult self-sacrifice
in all tho world. "Urostor love htUh no
more than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends." Thousands of
soldiers gnvo their lives, thousands like
some of these veterans before mo tonight
gave a limb, their health and yoars of the r
best life for their country. In their
crippled fortuues.in the rattling crutch, the
empty slecvo we son what these noble men
were willing to sacrifice, iospirod by the
noblest patriotism.
CAUSED BY HUMAN SIN,
Wo 800 in these graves of our dead
horoo?, also the malignity of human sin.
Wickeduoss in any form is a gigantic
power but when any sin beeoinos deeply
rooted in a human heart or iu a nation's
heart by years of growth, it Bpreads in in
tensity and destractive power. Deep seated
wickedness can be oindicted only by
mighty effort and heroic resolution.
Slavery and Christinnity are antagonis
tic in fundamental principle; it is impos
sible for tliom to grow side by side for
centuries; one or the other must bo
crushed ultimately.
The Mayflower brought to Plymouth
Hock the Christian religion, nnd this re
public cradled in Now Eughind was rooked
by Christian hands. Our fathers fled to
this continent to find n country whero
they could worship God according to
reason nnd conscience. Christianity brings
in her right hand to overy free land, the
schoolhouse, tho nowspapor nnd tho open
Bible; Christianity enunciates that God
Created man in his own imago nnd that all
nations nro of one blood, that, all men hnve
the inalienable right to equality and free
dom. These principle! aro antagonistic to
human slavery.
The Almighty had written with tho iron
pen of destiny that tho gates of tho Nino
teonth cenlury should not close upon
America until human bondage was anni
hilated forever. Tho trumpet of wnr was
sounded throughout onr land and all loyal
citizens of all parties rospondod to the call
to aims. The Hag of country ro.so above
tho Hag of party and both at homo and in
tho tented field, all patriotic Americans
swore thnt slavery must die forever ou
evory square iuch of territory covered by
the ktars nnd stripes.
We see in thoso graves also the BUbliBl
lty of patriotism. Love to Ood is man's
first duty, love to country is man's second
duty. When the alurui of battle sounds
in tho land tho coward hides; the selfish
and cruel speculate on the soldiers' foud
or clothing; the greody poltroon barter
with a nation's liberties. Only the heroic
patriots offer their lives for tho welfare of
country. Our civic duties should ho ns
murh n matter of prayer and worship ns
our clinch duties. In the light of Jesus
teaching, patriotism becomes divine; loy
alty to country becomoB loyalty to God.
Ili.KSSINO OF NATIONAL I'F.ACE.
We can also see in the slain warriors'
craves tho blessings of national p-nce. In
1861 the nation was rent with hostile par
ties. For many generations there had ex
isted between North ai.d South the mont
titter animosity on the plntlorm, in the
piess, in privato and social Ufet 10 the
halls of congno hnd been beard tiio mot
teriugs of the approaching hurricane. Bit
ter uud warlike dc-nuiiclatioun rent the
political atmosphere. The nation hnd for
a generation been tottering on the brink
of civil war. Tho herculean efforts of
Webster during his whole political enreor
wore consecrated to the task of avorling
civil war. Honry ('lay. the compromiser,
by his eloquence nnd statesmanship post
poned the civil war by ulinost a generation.
But war wasinevitable;it wastboGolgatha
of American civilization. The war clouds
burst in terrible fury, nnd for four yosrs
our country was haptised in blood." The
bitterness and hatred of tho auti-bellum
days are dying out; the North and the
South aro clasping hands in Christian for
giveness and brotherhood, and every year
p. ace and unity are cementing the bonds
thnt clasp the Bister states iu ouo per
manent and iudivisiblo republic.
DEBT CAN NKVtfl! Bl UPATJX
To theso votorans before us, to their
living comrad"s all ovor tho land, to thoir
slain comrades this nation owes a dobt of
gratitude it can never pny.
As we gather on Mcmorinl day to strew
their graves with Bowers let ns remember
that wo owe to thoir memory the gratitude
of loving nnd loyal hearts, nnd thnt wo
can in no better way emulate their patriot
ism than In living nobly for the country
for which they so nobly died. Let us look
up through our tears for these fallen heroes
with a prayer to Almighty God to protect
our united and peaceful country.
"Except the Lord build the houso they
labor iu vain who build it."
AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Veterans Enthmed by the Sermon of
Dr. McLod
A largo number of the members of
LiiUtenunt Ezra S. GrifHn post, at the
First Presbyterian church listened to
tho special sormou delivered by Rav.
Dr. McLeod. There was a magnificent
aodienoe present, the grand anditorium
boiug crowded to its fullest capacity.
The musical part of the progrumme
was under the direction of Tallin Mor
gan. The choir numberod over forty
voices and sang, among other selec
tions, "Praise Ye tho Father" by Gou
nod. The roadiug of the pastor and
responsivo chant singing by the choir
was a new feature in the service of
the ahurcb, but was groatly appreci
ate). Miss Annette Fkeynolds sung in hr
usual artistic manner, "Thy Living
Kindneai," und after tho last hymn a
male quartette, 1 OOnillttog of John
Lewis, Tallia Morgan, Hector James
and B. It. Grifntne, snog without ac
companiment and with touching ef
fect, "Lot the Dead and the beautiful
Best." Rov. N. F. Stahl, chaplain of
Ezra S. Griffin post, ocenpied a seat on
the platform and ofEerod an oarnest
nnd eloquent prayer.
The aermon by Kv. Dr. McLeod was
a powerful discourse, redolent with
patriotism nnd sound Chrislian doc
trine, and at times so stirred tho eti
thusiam of tho old veterans that they
conld scarce refrain from giving vout
to outbursts of applause. His remarks
were baaed on psalm, cxlvii;20: "He
liath not dealt so with any otner
nation."
Dr. McLeod said tho words of the
text were spokun more than 3,000 years
ago and had direct application to the
Jewish nation. At that time, nor 1,000
years later, and in soui3 rospscts not
even up to the present time hid tho
Lord denlt with any other nation ns
with that people. Ho spoke of their
survival of misfortunes of war aud cap
tivity, for they were a feeble folk,
as something wonderful, attributing it
to the fact that God was with them.
Ho had a purpose to serve with this
people for out of Israel was to come
Christ, tho Redeemer of Mankind.
QOD HAS BBKH GOOD TO US.
Dut the text, the apoaker said, was
also applicable to this nation. For
when we think what we wero and
what we now are, we can truly say,
"God hath not dealt so with any other
nation." Then after extending a
cordial welcome on behalf of himself,
the officers and congregation of tho
church, to the war veterans presout,
Dr. McLeod briefly referred to the past
of our country. He would not approve,
he said, of all the puritans did, but
they are to be judged by tha times In
which they lived. Nevertheless ho
paid them a glowing compliment. It
was their sons, he declared who formu
lated tho doctrine that nil men are
created free aud equal; their sons who
signed the Declaration of Independ
ence. In tracing tho providoncs of God in
tho founding of the republic Dr. Mc
Leod declared that it would be ji'st as
true to say that Ood had no hand in
shaping the Jewish theooracy as to say
that ho had no hand in shaping this
American government. It was no ac
cident, ho asserted, that the pilgrims
came to these shores; no accident that
led to tho founding of tho colonies; no
accident that they rebelled; no acci
dent that the govoruraont developed
was n republic instead of n monarchy;
no accident that raised up such men ns
Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Grant; no nc
cident shattered the manacles of slav
ery from the ilimbs of a race nnd for
ever wiped out the foulest blot on our
national escutcheon. It waa not brav
ery and genius alone that saved the
nation the hand of God was iu it all.
Although he had stated facts that
should not bo forgotten yet.proclaimed
Dr. McLeod, there are among us thoso
who seem to look elsewhere than to a
divine sonrco for tho stones out of
which this fabric of government was
built. They do not see the hand of
( !-od in it, nnd have no respect for His
lavrn. The sanctity of the Sabbath Is
ignored, wholesome laws are set nt
naught. and yet despite nil
this, "God hath not dealt so
with any other nation." Tho
wonderful roaources nnd possibilities
of our country were next dwelt upon,
Hut how to preserve the goodly herit
age preserved by soldierly valor is a
problem. Thero must be unity, con
cord, intelligence, education. Whether
right or wrong we have universal suf
frage. Seventy-live per cent, of the
colored voters cannot read, while the
sam is trne of a large percentage of
the ignornnt and vicious that come to
us from foreign shores.
THE KODERH SAMPSON.
A blind Sainpson',is iu our midst who
may raise his hand and shake the pil
lars of our commonweal and shatter it.
This blind Sampson is tho uneducated
masses with ballots in their hand.
Dr. McLeod's remarks on this subject
were ckquent and onrnest the extreme
nnd created a drop impression na did
the entire balance of tho sermon. He
closod with an appeal to tho old vot
orans to seek the heavenly crown ns
their final reward.
After the discourse the qnartetto
sang and tho benediction waa pronounc
ed by Rov. N. F. Stahl.

Druggists Defy Rov. Mr. Don? and His
Agents.
THEY KEPT THEIR PLACES OPEN
Will Be Arrested Again for Violating
the Law, So Mr. Dony Said Last
Evening He Is Prepared to Carry
the Fight Out on the Present Lines
if It Takes All Summer Says There
Has Been a Vast and Favorable
Change.
The prf sent indicationa are that the
Sabbath observance war is coing to
wax considerably hotter thanit has yet
been. The druggists in the central
part of the city nro still firm in their
determination not to yield to the new
order of things which tiio Sunday ob
serving people are seeking to ettabltib,
and yesterday kept their placea of
business opon as usual. Soda water
was sold to the thirsty In large quanti
ties, lor tiie day was warm and there
were many parched throats. Even the
smoltor wag not forbidden the luxury of
hia Havana, for cigars woro sold ns
freely as was the popular summer
beverage.
Mr. Dony'e ngonts were abroad how
ever, and noted these violations of the
law. taking down the names of persona
who might bo wanted ns witne3scs,iind
it is safe to say that complaints will be
lodged beforo an alderman eithor today
or tomorrow. Tha druggists expect it.
but say that thv are not to be deterred
from supplying the w.mU of the
people by any action that may
be tnkou. Thoso who com
plained of themsolvcB before
Alderman VitBiimmoni last Monday,
paying the usual fine, and wero nfter
ward held liable to a second fine by de
cision of Alderman Post, state that
they will appeal to tho courts on writs
of certiorari, alleging that tho alder
man errad iu not taking judicial notice
of tho fact that there had been a prior
conviction in their cists. The point
raised is a mooted one and the decision
of the jndges will be awaited with con
siderable interest.
WHAT Pit. IONY SAYS.
To a TBIBUNI reporter Mr. Dony
said last night that the Sunday closing
movement is reaelvtag moro opposi
tion from the druggists than any other
class of offender?.
"Over 7o pr cont. of the druggists,"
he laid, "nro with us for S.iubnth ob
servation. The remainder who oppose
tho movement ere mostly located in the
central city. It matters not what
courso they follow iu trying to balk us,
we're in tha fight to tiie bitter end
and shall make thorn pay flues until
pucccsb il assured. However, there
may be au arrangement made this
week whereby tbey will be content to
cease secular businods ou the Lord's
Day."
Regarding tiis present status of Sun
day observance Mr. Dony was of the
opinion that there has been a vast
change for the better which is appar
ent to any who any who will take the
trouble to observe the matter.
The usual arrests will b - made this
week, ho said.
When asked what boaring the busi
ness mens' meeting with the executive
committee of tan Pastors' union nt the
Young Men's Christian association
would have on the policy of the move
ment, he said he could not state.

At 70 odd years of ago Mrs. John Drew
is such a Mrs. Malaprop as it will take
more than another seventy-five years to

high priest taken from among man is
ordained for men in tho things thnt
appertain to Ood that ha may offer up
gifts and sacrilioM for sins." St. Paul,
Hebrews, 5th chapter, 1st verso.
It was a brilliant and scholarly treat
