Charles Jordan sang Tenting Tonight, accom- panied by a male chorus in fine man- ger. Adjutant Schaffer delivered Lin- coln’s Gettysburg address. Rev. R. S. Moore, pastor of the .church, delivered a stirring address. He said in part: It gives me great pleasure to ex- tend to you tonight a most hearty welcome to this place, and to this service. There are no political or re- ligious faith here tonight, we are all one at this time in this place, cf zens of a common country, inheritors of a common blessing, legatees and trustees of a great faith. No difference divides us, no differences separate us but there is a true unity in gratitude in the memory of a life of service. I salute you, I bow to the memory of the dead. To some of us this service means more to than others. Some of us are most remotely connected with that great event. That great struggle which men made for the people and for the freedom of the people and for the rights of men. Yonder in the val. ley of the Susgquehanna sleeps my fa- ther who fought for freedom of men. I remember that at the battle of Antietam Creek the 130th Pennsylva- nia went side by side with the 14th Connecticut. That 130th was my fa- ther’s ‘regiment. So when I speak to Connecticut men I speak to men who were comrades to my father in arms. Nearly 60 years ago our nation began that long, long journey of her'’s through the shadow of the valley of death. That weary march every foot of which was wet by blood and by tears, watered by the gracious out- pouring of sacrifice. That long, weary march began with exaltation, carried on with painstaking sacrifice and completed with sense of profound hu- It is fitting that just once a year at least we should come together and think upon the sacrifices of our fathers. It is fitting that each com- munity should meet in a special com: memorative service and let mafln ‘wan- feet, their sac- rifice forever paid. '@ commemorate men, peace loving, law abiding men, ‘who at the call to duty went forth to keep the faith. No wonder as the these days. brothers, came over in the steerage as came over in the Mayfiower. All men by birth are sons pf the most high God and before the face of our judge eternal there is no black, white, red or vellow, but all men are His chil- dren. No man is great enough to own any other man, body and soul. No man is wise enough or great enough to be the keeper of another man's conscience. No man strong enough to enslave another man anywhere. They are all my Father's people. So, my dear friends, it ix with a sense of a great obligation to you, with a sense not as deep as it ought to be, because we can mot realize the debt ‘we owe to men who saved the Union, who saved liberty, saved poor men from slavery. It is with a sense of gratitude we welcome you. May God in His infinite grace spare you for long, long years to come. May His peace rest upon you, may His blessing make vou glad. The service closed with the singing of America, the congregaiion standing while the invited guests passed out. OBITUARY.
