The occasion was the annual 'memorial religious services of the 'Grand Army, of the Republic, which Is now a hulluw'qd custom. Besides tho veterans,' there wiih a congregation that tilted the church and were stirred and edified by the patriotic spirit of tho speaker whoso words and manner epokc a sincere eulogy to the men of 'the blue who arc among tho saviours of tho union. Tho toldlcra of tho post assembled at Odd Fellows hall, Salem avenue, at li.no together with the Spanish veterans who displayed an Interest ukln to pride in the beautifully appropriate and .thoughtful services of the evening. The soldiers were under the command of Colonel John McComb, whoso direction of the veterans was exemplary and In spiring. The procession of tho men In blue from tho hall to the Congregation al church was edifying. At Cambrian hnll on South Church street tho Wom an's Relief coips joined the procession nnd were given tho place of honor in the church. It was tho first opportunity for most I of those present to hear Rev. Mr. May preach, and there was no one whom he 'did not profoundly Impress. His text was from Isaluh, 2-l:."i: "And He, God, shall Judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people: nnd they Eliall beat swords into plow shares and their spears Into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. "O house of Jacob, come ye and lot us walk in tho light of tho Lord." His discourse was as follows: . .! . Eev. Mr. May's Sermon. "It is ftn" 'Inspiring thought that this day and at this hour of service there are being held in many of the churches throughout tho land, special services in memory of the brave men who have fought for"5our Country. ; It Is proper and llttfug' thaf'lt should bo so. "A large portion of our many social nnd political privileges, which mark this nation as tho grandest among the governments .of the world, have been purchased by tho b'ood and strife of the worthy dead whom wo would hold in reverend memory today. Wo owe much to men of war who have won tho liberty "under which -wo have the free school and tho free churches. And I ani sure wo do the Grout Ruler of tho universe no Injustice to thank Him for their noble achievements: and wo owe It to them to make formal public acknowledgement of our debt of grati tude for their service. "What u great debt this generation owes to the soldiers and sailors who have, served our country in war! "We recognise fully, I think, tho debt wo owe to thoso-'iii'murcobscurc nnd less exciting ..wnU;, of life,, who have peacefully borne their cross and done their work. The true heroes of our nation who servo through the more enduring agencies of peace are not for gotten. It takes as brave a man to withstand tho temptations of tho store and tho street as It does to face the rain of Shrapnpl nrpl Mauser bullets. Tho true heroes are those who are at their posts and maintain their ideals of life nnd duty, wherever Gd has placed them. Hut If you can think of tho soldier divested of hate and cruelty, and. the barbarity so Inseparable from war, you will perceive. In him tho typo of character which makes tho truo sol dier's representative of every hern be cause ho manifests tho principles of service, devotion and sacrifice that un derlie every truo life. "Without the soldier wo could not have had our, beloved nation. Develop- GOLLKtiK COMPLEXIONS. Can Bo Ruined by Coffee. Nothing so surely mars a woman's complexion as coffee drinking. A young college girl of Hnyuttsvllle, Md says, "I never drank coffee up to the time I went to college nnd as long as you are not going to publish my name will admit that I was proud of my pink and white complexion, but for some reason I began drinking coffee at school and when vacation came I look ed like a wreck, .

Na tions have always been moulded In tho red heat of ba.ttlo. All honor to the bravo men of war who have done their strenuous part In strengthening and preserving tho nation. They have se cured to us tho liberty and tho rights wo now enjoy. Wo offer no apology for having this patriotic service In this house dedicated to the worship of God. True piety und patriotism uro insep arable. "Think of the great heritage they have bequeathed usl What responsibili ties go with Its privileges! America stands for a typo of civilization differ ent from nnd Infinitely higher and bet ter than the fairest dreams of any oth er nation under tho sun. We have set ourselves the task of teaching man to govern himself. In European countries the policy of governments Is fixed by the will and interest of a power-crazed czar, emperor, king, or haughty aris tocracy. Hero tho government Is a ma chine, created by ourselves for our own purposes. It's object is to servo tho people. The people may be learning slowly how to put tho groat engine of government to tho best use, but they are learning surely, "In purpose nnd Intent our govern ment stands to secure each Individual equally before the law and tho greatest possible liberty to make tho most of his own existence. Now, no other llug, than the glorious Stars and Stripes, has protected rights so valuable and hopes so dear. Her silver stars shining from the depth of blue, symbolize our Inten tion nnd purpose of infinite and eternal advancement under the guidance of Heaven, Her white lines stand for tho immaculate purity la which wo pro pose to preserve our nation; and her ljnes of deep red ur the pledge that the life blood of tho nation Is ever ready to How for her true honor. And the honored dead, whose devotion to that Flag has carried them Into the thick of battle, are worthy our veneration. "The younger people cannot compre hend the tension and weight of care under which our fntheis and mothers lived during tho war for tho Union; which Is sometimes called the Rebel lion; I like to call It the War of tho Union. Fresh in the memory of tho older ones present are tho thoughts of those stirring events of nearly forty years ago The long, patient marches; tho tramp of tens of thousands of the Sons of Liberty, as they went forth to leslst tho blow aimed at tho nation's life. Tho bivouac of the legions on the silent star-lit Held; the hardships, tho sickness, and tho death which exposure brought to the flower of our youth, till the thinning of the ranks from disease was even more terrible than the havoc wrought by tho enemies fire. Th3 long remembered step that went out from the home, never to bo heard again these tue ull fresh in tho memory of many hero this evening. And because of the bravo deeds wrought and tho sacrifices made by the noble army of our dead shall the nation's devotion outlive, not only your memory, but the memory of many generations yet to come, and keep green the sod upon our heroes' graves. "These graves In our national coino teries! What n potent, though silent testimony, to the magnitude of the awful sacrifice laid upon our national altar In the war for the Union! There are lU.ooo graves or tnoso wno ion ai Chattanooga; 15,000 at Fredericksburg; 1(1,000 at Arlington; 17,000 at Vicks burg; and at the last named place there are about 10,000 graves marked un known. In tho national cemeteries, there lies tho sacred dust of more than 200,000 men whoso lives have been yielded in war for our nation. Have we counted" the cost too great? No! Wo have gloried in the sacrifice. I once heard my father say ho had seen regi ments leave on tho transports from Now York a thousand strong and re turn but a few tattered, worn-out men, whoso comrades had been left on the fields of battle nnd death. "Yet," said my father, "I have never yet heard a father or a mother say tho sacrlllco was too great." It was a sacrifice freely offered by the patriotic heart of tho nation, because of its awful neces sity. Liberty and patriotism are of greater importance than mere contin uation of individual existence In indif ference to the corruption and selfish ness wnicn inreiucn mo wu ui na tions. And all Americana are richer today for the men who have counted honor dearer than life. May the nation, which, like the mighty oak, has grown strong through tho storms that have shaken it ever guard well the graves of tho sacred dead, and sing over them, In all the centuries to come, patriotic Fongs of devotion to the llug for which they died, "Hut I feel that wo would bo dolus tho heroes, who have died for the high est life of- tho nation, a gross injustice, if, in commemoration of their lives, we have nothing to offer but eulogy of their deeds of blood. Many a life has gone out on our nation's battlefields claiming entrance Into a society, where thoro will bo no moro war. God has Im pressed upon the heart of humanity an unconquerable longing for peace, our deeper sense of right nfllrms that war ought not to be; and under God, what ought not to be will not continue to be. War wlir"not always mar tho fuco of God's fair creation, it Is two hor rlblo to be permitted by an enlightened race. It Is Impossible In a Christian stato of society, In which men seok not to win or gain, but to serve, Already, tho world's strife has shifted from tho army of warriors to the moro peaceful army of industrial workers. When tho watchword of industry becomes not "How Much Huvo I Secured for My self," but "How Much nnd How Well Huvo I Served the Rest Interests of Society," then tho battle flags shall be furled and tho wur drum heard no longer In tho federation of the world, It Is In tho nature of war to bo fol lowed by peace, because strife tends to exhaust tho forces by which It Is main tained, and ends in peace. Because of this cxhuustlon of forces, no fighting ndtton will be ablo to compete with the Industrial nations. "Then again, tho great prophets have alwuys claimed that war had no prom inent place la human society, Isaiah and Paul and Jesus, all prophesied a coining state of society in which thoro would bo no war. They saw that war wus a mere incident in humanity's long march, " "The history of war f-hows what Its terrible lessons are. ,'THJ men seek each other's good, tere cun be no pence; and nothing )s settled till It Is settled right. Men, may try to settle disputes on other lines, but, until set tlement be madei upon principles of equity, they come up again. So the bravo heroes of lour country who have fought for tio jWpht us they saw It, ' though it was relative right nnd not absolute, still they havo helped to es tablish the nation in traditions of tuuth und righteousness, which shall bo to it n band of peoco in Clod's future. And tho most fitting way for us to commemorate nnd honor tho brave lives, which havo been sacrificed for our nation, is to nccqpt them as tokens of God's own sacrificial love, and give our own lives In service to tho end that our nation may be a mighty power In tho bringing in of tho kingdom of henven. "When that kingdom comes and men shall say to each other, "Come, brother, let us walk In tho tight of tho Lord," "then shnll nation not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Cut, until that time, God shall Judge among the nations and shall .rebuke many people," by the scourge of war. "God help us to bring the nations to a knowledge of tho lessons thnt war, through Its heroes, has taught us. 'Roll on ye worlds nnd bring us the wel come day." Then shall men on earth understand, as tho angels do now in heaven, that tho winter's winds, blow ing ho frosted leaves of tho weeping willow over tho graves of the brave, and exchanging with tho llower-per-fumed breezes of Bprlng, are but mark ing tho changing of seasons of that same eternity of peace, where, now those heroes sleep, who have died in war that peace may reign through the triumph of tho right. "O God of tho nations! Help us to learn from these heroes' lives that our nation's peace can bo attained only through unllenchlng love and devotion to truth und gdodness." SABBATH NUPTIALS.

The ball game between the Belmont Crackerjacks and tho Stars, from the same section, ended In a cloud of doubt and excited exchange of compliments. "When the tenth inning came and the score was tie, 12-12, three men were re tired on the Stars' side. But the umpire changed his decision after this inning, and the Stars refused to go out. This was what the Crackerjacks exceedingly regretted, for there was no doubt In their minds of their making at least a dozen runs. The Crackerjacks' battery was Wil son, McCabe and Robinson; Stars, Wat son and Doud. Wilson went up in tho air in the seventh, tho Stars making ono run for each Inning. Robinson, of tho "Cracks," did somo heavy hitting, making two throe-baggers and ono home run. Blockcnbcrg and Doud also mado home runs. Wilson nnd Oliver made a sensational double play. The game was highly interesting. MUSIC AT TRINITY. Mr. Roberts nnd Miss Sailor Assist in Programmo Arranged by Mr. Jones.

I Exactly what goes on inside to make the consumptive gain weight when taking Scott's Emulsion is still 'a mystery, Scott's Emulsion does some thing to the lungs too that re duces the cough.
