Welcomed by Pastor Maler. Rev, Henry W, Maler, in his ad- dress of welcome, said that people are welcomed beci of three things, First, because of what they are, sec- ond, bechuse of what they have done and third, because of the standards and purposes for which they stand. He sald, in dealing with the first subject, that the men assembled had shown themselves as patriotic citizens, being both courageous and sacrificlal. They showed what kind of men they were when they ‘offered themselves to their country. In dealing with the second subject, what they had done, he said that whenever the veterans hear the phrase, "United States of America”, uttered they may say to themselves, “We helped to keep the country the United States of America.” They set the geal of freedom on every man, he sald, In .speaking of the third subject, he spoke of the constitution of the United States and what it means, say- ing that there are some who are try- ing to undermine the constitution, He said that if this is done, then all that' has been -accomplished will go. In connection with the Civil war he stated that in the church there is the tablg'upon which the first recruits to the Civil war from ;New Britain signed their names when the call for volunteers was issued by President Lincoln, “Anything , we have 1is yours,” was his closing statement. Response by N. A. Calkins “There is. no event in the history of this country that has added great. er honors 'to ‘the United States than the results of the Civil war”, was the opening statement of Hon. Newton 4. Calkins of Coxsackie, N. Y., who responded to the address of welcome, He said that the United States is the anly cotintry: that has gaiicd the universal recognition of the entire world, “‘Her charities areas are as great and as wide as the Victories that she has Wwon,” hesaid.; He dwelt on the re- sponse of the United States to the call of the allies during the recent war, how when the war was ovér, the United Stptes retired; asking noth- , ing, resuming her natuwal life, ‘‘But the ‘work is not ‘yet done and will not be as long as you are alive. There are enemies arising. Not eénemies armed with bayonets, but that minority which is fighting for control of the will of the great mu- jority. ‘We must watch diligently and caretully to sec that they do not gain”, he said, x “There are those who would do away with the government of this countiy and institute something that they brought, with them from across the fvater, but Americans won't-‘let thert succeed”, he stated. He went on to say that these factions are not working for the good of the country or the good of mankind, they are , Working for their own selfish interests and for their own enrichment. Regiment's’ Surgeon Speaks ; Henry Plumb, surgeon of the regi- ment, was the next speaker. He said that the name of the Second Heavies has been made the synonym of all that is worthy in military seryice. He dwelt on the remembrance of the country, saying that it will be a sad day for a nation when the defenders are forgotten. The services rendered were of no special merit; they con- stituted a simple performance of duty, he said. M. Plum also dwelt on the danger the country is in due tp outside forces. He sald that this country is deluged with the heresies and fanaticisms of the world and the overthrow of the country is planned. ‘Cheap labor and higher profits are more valuable than the soul of America in the opinion of some magnates of industry”, re. marked the speaker. “But let us not fail in our faith and our devotion. Let us kindle again that patriotic flame of Lexington, of Cold Harbor and of the Marne. Let us not forget that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance”, he concluded. Lieutenant G. Dwight Stone also spoke to his comrades. He said that the happlest days of his life are when he can journey up from his home in New Jersey to be with the friends of the regiment again. He stated that he has for several years been connected with' the ataff of the Grand Army of the Republic in New Jersey and has occasion to visit vet. erana often. He said that in no other organization is the feeling of fratern- ity so strong. Mother Sings, Son Plays, In the course of the afternoon, Mrs. Mary T. Crean sang several songs accompanied on the piano by her son, John J. Crean. Among the songs chosen by Mrs. Crean were “Smilin’ BrTes:STnes ., pply wet baking TR0 FIRE BOARD SAYS IT'S W ere u.c:‘::,":,":‘:".lx.,.‘."; ".., I Police Board Wants His Servioes | coessing in its work assembled for dinner and they were many and varied, Some of the men had not seen each other for years and | groups oaver some events of the war in which they little talking there were gathered comparing notes and all had a personal interest.
