',A MESSAGE FOR TODAY FROM ABRATIAMUNCOLN
"Let every American, every lover of liberty, every- well
wisher of his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution
never to violate in the least particular the laws-of the country,
and never to tolerate their violation 'by others. As the patriots
of '76 did to support the Constitution and Laws let every
American pledge his life, his property and sacred honor. Let
every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on
-the blood of his father, and,to tear the,charter of his own and ,
his children's liberty.
"Let reverence for the Laws be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be
taught in the schools; in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be
written in primers,..spelling books and almanacs, let it be - -
preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative halls
and enforced in the courts of justice.
_ "In short, let it become the political religion of the nation;
and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave
and the gay, of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions,
sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars"

ho meal situation has been a big item
.nd during the past year ,we served
97.677,000 meals to the seamen.
"I often contrast conditions of the
past with those of the present. We
have a big lobby where men congregate
and meet with each other At one end
wo have a massive soda fountain which
is exactly the same heightaa the bar of
the past, the brass Jail and all other
characteristics of the hotel are ,retain
ed. Here men drink soda water and
eat lee cream sundaes when they might
have been drinking over ,the bar of, a
saloon. We have a post Mike depart
ment which le classified asithird class.
This is a safe place to receive mall
and many families are kept together
in this way. Last year this office hand
led nearly 160,000 letters In the early
days-men were In.& drunken, condition
and never had a - cent of money to send
to those at home The first year that
our bank was in operation it was the
place of security for $4500 and we were
delighted
..at the_ magnificent work it
was doing. Last year 51,201.017 was
handled by l , the bank Some of this
was banked and a goodly portion, was
distributed among the relatives of ,the
men who. deposited it. We have a
tailoring establishment also. The cm-

as the-Missing Men Department is but
