Attorney Gnrrntt's Address.
Attorney Garratt, In memory to
tho unknown dead, said in part:
We are drawing to the close of the
first half century after the great
Civil War. Nearly fifty years have
passed since the battle of Gettys
burg on whoso field He thousands of
unknown dead. After every great
battle there always remains on the
field hundreds, yes, tnousanas,
whose remains, torn, mangled and
fragmentary cannot be Identified.
Whatever can be found Is gathered
up, thrown Into trenches by the sur
vivors, and too often so slightly cov
ered with ground that a few rains
removo the covering and expose tho
flesh and bones to tho action of tho
elements, and to the gazo of human
sight.
No tablet, no monument, ever can
bo erected which will show In what
spot or place the mortal remains
of such a soldier reposes. No sis
ter, brother, wife or mother can
ever Identify the place whore their
loved ones sleep and there plant a
flower in momory of him so dear to
them.
As individuals, the resting place
of thousands of the world's bravest
men are unknown and never can be
known, but we honor them, respect
them and appreciate wnat tuey navo
done. No truer saying was ever
writ than this: "By their deeds ye
shall know them."
To-dav we are encaged In a sol
emn dutv. We have come to com
memorate not only their heroic
death, but their lives and their
deeds.
So creat was tho sacrifice, and so
manv were the lives that were lost,
that If we plucked every flower that
Is crow nc to-day in this fair land,
and deposited them upon the graves
of our brave soldiers, tho tribute
would not be big enough. The debt
of gratitude never has and never
can be paid.
While we honor those who passed
away in the heat of battle lot us not
forget those who, as if by some
miracle, survived. They wero just
as brave, just as loyal, just as eager,
and a few of them are here with us
to-day.
Every last man of thoso with us
who wears tho blue has been upon
his country's alter, ready as a human
sacrifice for tho cause for which
they stood, never flinching, never
shirking, ever ready to bear their
country's burdens.
Let us work together to promote
the work for which they so nobly
wrought. Let us take from their
example a lesson of usefulness, "and
resolve that come what will we too
will stand by our country.

Attorney C. 1'. Scnrlo's Address,
Memorial day is one of tho most
important days in our community and
national life. We have assembled to
dav with these venerable men of the
Grand Army of the Republic In mem
ory of a war having tho noblest cause
and the most glorious victory ever
achieved by the sons of men. It was
a war of tremendous dimensions. Ov
er two thousand battles Involving ov
er 3.000.000 of men. Great and un-
selfish motives and impulses sent
men into tho conflict and kept them
there. On battlefield and in prison
nen they faltered not, but in life and
in death rendered to their country
and their flag the fullest, truest,
measure of loyal, patriotic devotion
while those at homo tolled and agon-
ized and nrayed. All honor then to
the men and women of tho sixties
who wrought and fought and sacrl
flced and died for issues more sacred
to them than life Itself.
There are subjects upon which
nothing now can be said, but which
still arouse the favor awakened at
their flrst enunciation. If the song
was true when it started on Its jour
ney, it will be sung as long as human
hearts vibrate and tongues retain the
gift of speech.
It will be lisped by those tottering
on toward the end, and echoed by
hearts filled with tho promise and
glow of youth. It tho product was
genuine when it passed from the Cre
ator's hand, it will neither bo dim
mod by age, nor cheapened by fa
miliarity; for honor is not decreased
by contact and truth Is never out of
tune. This Is an age when search is
tireless for tho new and marvelous,
but wo must not only seek the new,
we must remember the old. For
the nowest is not always the best.
The date or lustre of tho coin does
not determine its metal. The sub
stance may bo plain and unobtrusive
and still be gold. The paintings of
modern times havo evoked the
praise of critics, and yet thousands
still pay homage to an older genius.
Modern literature Is ablaze with
beauty and with power, and yet mil
lions are going, and will go tonight,
to an old and thumbworn text for
their final consolation.
And so it is today. Everything
good, everything beautiful and lm-
presslve that may be said of these he
roes of ours rings true in our ears be
cause It is merely tho expression of
the universal appreciation and af
fection that wo feel for them and the
noble work they performed in de-
fense of our national Integrity and
our national life. And as we meet
with the survivors of that mighty
conflict and decorate the graves of
their departed comrades with flowers
and tho flag they preserved for ub, wo
see In retrospect tho scones of tho
darkest period of our national life.
Prior to the civil war there wero
great differences of opinion respect
lng the character of tho new govern'
ment.
The South affirmed that it was
merely a voluntary association of
Boverlcn states, subject to be dlssolv
ed at the election of any ono of its
members. The North maintained
that it was a Union, inseparable, In
divisible, perpetual. Out of that dis
parity of belief, earnestly entertain
ed and energetically defended, thoro
had arisen, heated discussions, bitter
controversy, crimination and re
crimination; all to be decided, lrre-
in the wilderness yielding up his
young life that tho great Republic
may remain
We try to measure all the sorrow
and tho sacrifice, and we are stuplfl-
ed with horror. The eyes grow dim
the lips aro silent, the heart Is still
There are names wo do not know and
graves wo cannot find. There are
messages that never come, and
mournful whispers carried in the
raham Lincoln that mysterious mix
ture of melancholy and merriment of
laughter and tragedy, of mirth and
tears. When the nineteenth century
shall assemble its illustrious dead in
their final Pantheon there will be
Napoleon for France, Gladstone for
Great Britain, BIsmark for Germany,
Tolstorv for Russia, and for Ameslpa

that never cease to break, yet cannot
die. There are memories that time
will not obliterate, and familiar foot
steps that will over echo and re-echo
in the corridors or tne imagination.
And there are strains of music weird
and gay and sweet and sad which
transport all .the past upon their
matchless .melody. And even to
this day there are tears that will not
dry and sobs that cannot break in
tears. Oh, how superb, how mag
nificent, how glorious, how cruel,
how terrible, how remorseless, is war
to the victorious and to the van
quished.
The fortunes of tho civil war rest
ed now with the North and not with
tho South until Abraham Lincoln
heard above the roar of the storm
that enveloped him, the low, smoth
ered cry that demanded the freedom
A nation that is capable of produc
ing Grant and McKinley, men of the
highest type or patriots,
A nation capable of producing
such a citizenship and inspiring it
with such a patriotism must havo a
marvelous future. And It shall go
onward forever, surmounting one
obstacle after another until It shall
attain an approximately perfect day
when it shall seize, hold and reflect
the clory and grandure or all the
earth and no decoration shall be so
exclusive, no dignity so exceptional,
no distinction so great as citizenship
in the united States or America.
The convention proceedings wero
In charge of Friend Robacker of
Newfoundland, who has been tho
faithful president of Sterling dis
trict during tho past year.
State worker, Rev. George Dowey,
arrived from Scranton, and address
ed tho convention afternoon and
evening. Mr. Dowey's presonce was
an ispiratlon to all three conventions.
He showed us how little wo have
dono compared with tho great
amount that we might do.
At the close of tho morning, and
afternoon sessions, tho ladies of
Sterling served bountiful meals iu
their church basement where every
one gave the visitors a cordial wel
come. Our party was entertained for tho
night at the hospitable homes of J.
E. and S. N. cross. Tho next morn
ing, with our number increased by
tho addition of Rov. Georgo Dowey,
we journeyed to Gravity, the scene of
the next convention.
The beautiful weather of tho first
nart of our trip had changed Into
a cold, dismal rain. In Bplto of that
fact, however, the P. O. S. of A. hall
at Gravity was well filled with en
thusiastic S. S. workers. This con
vention somewhat resembled a min
lsterial meeting for we had with us
tho following clergymen: Under
wood, Kopp, Slicker, Treat, Tuttle,
Renville, llanton and Dowey.
Georgo Ammerman, the president
of the Hawley district, who resides
at Gravity, has the work much at
heart.
The Gravity ladles certainly sus
tained their reputation as generous
hostesses.
The addresses of the different
sessions wero listened to with close
attention and every ono left tho con
vention with new interest in S. S.
work.
Thursday morning, we were rid
ing over wet, muddy roads to Calkins
in our own district or Damascus
We reached thero to find Rev. R. D
Minch of the Damascus Baptist
church, leading an enthusiastic song
service. Although tho weather was
most unfavorable, some delegates
drove eight or ten miles to reach
the convention.
Tho absence of the Calkins la
dies from the morning session was
fully accounted for when wo enter
ed the Grange hall where very ap
petizing meals were served.
A new feature of this convention
was the informal talk on graded S
S. work given by Rev. Dowey to
some teachers who had asked for
special instruction. His evening ad
dress. "The Winning or iuu.uuu,'
closed the last convention of the
three.
No one, after attending these con
ventions, could doubt that Wayne
county is intensely interested in S.
S. work. At the same time, we
must be on our guard or we will
bo going backward.
In 11)11 Wayne county received a
front line banner at the State con
vention. In order to retain that
banner, at least 21 schools of our 100
or more, must have fully qualified
teacher training classes that have
passed ono examination. Has tho
teacher training class in your school
been dissolved or allowed to fall in
to oblivion. If so, resurrect it, or
organize a now one. Seo that the
class answers tho State requirements.
Then when the State convention
meets in Willlamsport In October
and tho roll of front line counties is
called, Wayne may answer with all
the enthusiasm at her command,
