uous round of pleasure that the vet

Promptly at 10 o'clock the thirty-

eran8, and appropriate responses were j

followed by several selections of pat- j
rlotlc music. As son' as the prellmi-1
nary program was over Commander
King directed all persons not mem
bers of the Grand Army to withdraw j
from the hall, as it was to bo a sec- j
ret meeting. When all such had gono |
out General King directed Rev. J. H.
Bradford, the national chaplain, of
Worhington, D. C. to invokj the*
blessing of the Ditty. In his ihvocn-1
ticn the chaplain paid an ’eloquent

Commander-In-Chief King, in his
annual ‘address, touched on many sub
jects of interest to the veterans. In
opening his remarks General King
paid the following tribute to the mem
ory of his predecessor, the late Gen.
Blackmar.

ter world could revisit the scenes of

as commandbr-ln-chief during the
major portion of this administration
would be words of slncerest affection
for the dear old comrades whom he
loved so devotedly. He would re

said when with you, that your unani

bearer one year ago was an honor the
equal of which could be conferred by
no body of men outside of the Grand
Army of the Republic and that, so
highly did he appreciate the confi

On the subject of Memorial Day the
comnmnedr-in-chief said:
"That sweetly solemn day, so dear
to the heart of every patriotic citizen,
and so doubly dear to the valiant men
whose loyal service of more than two-
score years ago led to Its inception,
has now become an institution of the
land as firmly rooted and Immovable
as Independence Day Itself. And well
it should be, for in the whole world's
history no more beautiful sentiment Is
more generally and appropriately ex*
prosed than is this fidelity of the loy
al living to the memory of tho loyal
dead.
"The observance of exercises of Me
morial Day has become so widespread
that at the present time scarcely a
city, town, or village can be found in
this great Republic that does not in
some manner pay tribute to the hon
ored dead. And what a graceful form
this tribute takes: Tho fresh and
fragrant flowers, produced from na
ture bythe power of nature's God, and
the stainless flag, with its stars and
stripes emlcmatlcof tho thirteen col
onies that gave It birth one hundred
and twenty-eight years ago, and of
the forty-five sovereign states that
support it atthe present time. What
a significant combination, too,-those
marvellous floral productions of the
generous earth given by tho father of
the. universe to appeal to tho finer sen
sibilities of the soul, and that glorious
star-spangled banner given by the fa
thers of the Revolution to appeal to
the love of liberty Innate In every
human heart. Glorious blending-flow
ers and flag. Glorious symbolism-
God and country'. How fitting it is
then that In death the graves of otis
country's saviors should be crowned
by the emblem of the watchword that
was theiris In life; Just here we are
reminded that many of these martyrs
to unity and liberty lie in graves not
visible to the human eye. They are
those who went “down to the sea In
ships," who fought their country's
enemies bravely and unflinchingly,
with nothing between them and eter
nity but a sheet of iron or a wooden
plank. For many years no attempt
was made to decorate their graves on
Memorial Day, bat now, thanks to our
loyal and zealous auxiliary, the Wo
man's Relief Corps, no grave fa neg
lected, whether on land or on the
mighty deep.
