Let us reverently pay tribute, on this Memorial Day, to the
martyrs of liberty who have long since passed on to greater
glories and those who lived to enjoy the fruits of their heroism
but who have more recently been called from our midst.
And as, with bowed heads, we offer a prayer of thanks for
the years of peace we have enjoyed, let us also offer one
of gratitude for the little group of heroes of the war of the
rebellion who linger among usf, and ths greater numbers of
heroes of mdre recent conflicts, who' &_■•£ mingling among
us or who are paying the price of peace and glory in the
veterans' hospitals of our country.
