Johnson, died at her home, No. 7 Wash. | Sedgwick Post Members in Automobiles ington street, Monday evening, about 9:30 o'clock. She was 57 vears of age. Surviving are her husband and two children. The death of Mrs. James H. Johnson, assistant city missionary of the United Workers, removes from the ranks of that organization one who as student, teacher, nurse, caretaker and assistant missionary has served that bedy for nearly 34 vears. She was deeply interested in the Girls' Eureka club, of which she was a member almost from the date of its or- granization in 1886. She entered with whole-souled interest into its classes in gymnastics, travel, embroidery and cook- ing, was caretaker of No. 9 Washington street, headquarters for several years, Wwas nurse at the Sheltering Arms, district visitor and supply nurse in the communi- ty, and since 1910 has served as assist- ant in the city mission department. She came to this work out of an ex- perience in welfare activities which en- abled_her to fit in easily into almost ev- ery froblem of family social work. Her cheery presence, ready sympathy, wise counsel, her delight in, and devotion to her work in every capacity made her visits welcome in the homes where she went, and her relation to those who call- ed upon her for assistance, much warm- er than official. The records of the United Workers speak more than once of her “faithful- ness,” her “readiness to help in every kind of work”, to sympathize and com- for “her kind heart and willing hands,” “invariably kind and helpfu She filled a large and difficult place in the activities of the Unmited Workers, in the Christ-like spirit of those to whom it was said: “I was hungry and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty and ye gave me drink. T was a stranger and ye took me in; naked and ye clotheg me; I was sick and ye visited me, I Avas in prison and ye came unto me.” She has her reward. Miss Emma J. Caulkins. Miss Emma J. Caulkins, a well known resident of Black Point, died at her home Saturday following a lingering iliness. She was born in Waterford June 24, 1857, the daughter of John T. and Elizabeth Lioyd Caulkins.

Murphy: As commander of Sedgwick Post and in behalf of my comrades, T again welcome you to this public service; also you the officers and members of our new mili- tary company and Spanish War Veter- ans, who have dome escort’duty for us in the days gone by; also’ the Sons of Veterans and. our homored citizen corps. as well as the Boy Scouts, and to all who this day have gathered with us to pay honor to our patriotic dead who freely gave their lives for their country. Their memorable deeds w serve not only to make American citi- zenship in these days more respectable but also to maintain and perpetuate through all future gemerations the union and authority of the United States of America. And again I wish to pay trib- ute to. our World War Veterans who have joined us today to pay tribute to our mnoble dead, and now that the world war has ended you have followed the example of our forefathers and vie- tory has again come to the American forces and Sedgwick Post wishes to ex- press our highest admiration for sol- dier, sailor or marine enlisting under the Stars and Stripes to serve and fight for his country, either in the Civil war or in the Spanish #4r or in the great World war. We are all ome in comradeship now, standing together as one man that goverrment of the people and by the people and for the people shall not per- isk-from the earth. This is the national day of memorial, the time when in mind and thought our- glorious past is made to live again. It is the hour when a nation awakes to the remembrance of deeds of heroism performed in its de- fense, the day when a loyal people, grateful for service rendered their coun- try, unite to honor their patriot dead. Differences of party, creed and sect are foday forgotten.

Mr. Abbott spoke in part as fol- For more than fifty ysars we have been celebrating our Memorial da ys. We have rightly paid sincere respecis to those men who broke tae chaine that Wwere binding our national life. The farther we get away from the sixties of the last century, the greater seems the magnitude of the labors of thosc critical vears. For we have learn>1 to measure a human strugsle partly in terms of the extent of the territory aff.cted. parily i terms of the economic chang: partly in ‘terms of the mart> and physical directions thereby created; but —even more than these—in terms of the moral and intellectual powers ‘hat were freed for brilliant . deeds. Conscauently those Americans who quicken=d our pas- sion for national unity, bequeathed to us one more gift in the long series of legacies for human freedom, and, in both victory and defeat, personified the challenge of the Common (Godd--taose Americans measure large in personal stature. We measure their labors, sacri- fices and continued influence by the re- sults upon the national life of their mor- al and intellectual effects. And, because we have found these to be memorable, we do well to say, “Let the habit of memor- alizing these men never die!” Today I would remind -you of just two of the many gifts bequeathed to us by these veterans. First of all, they left us one never-to-be-forgotten truth: that the worth of national solidarity depends up- on the nature of its moral purpose. We have been told many times that the first great issue of the Civil War was the preservation of the Union. Deep differences had arisen. Some were econ- omic, due to the problems involved In the productions of cotton the south, in and those involved in the increasing in-| dustrialism in the north. Some were So- cial. magnifying the generations of land- ownership and slavery on one side, and emphasizing capitalism on the other. Some were political, with the advocacy of the doctrine of “laissez-faire” over agalnst the doctrine of change. And these social, economic and political di- vergances had constituted a “house di- vided against itself which could not stand.” Unity must be preserved. So- lidarity must be regained. The opening of the struggle say all the agencies of the land combined, in the one case to rebuild, in the other to disrupt. the an- cient solidarity. This we have been told many times. One thing. however, we ought to re- member is this that the wisest of our forefathers saw that unity itself is fu- tile without a compelling purpose. The fact of possessing national solidarity is no guarantee of national permanence. Only as that solidarity is builded upon a high moral purpose can the minds and spirits of citizens be storred to high en- deavor. Isgmot this the great fact left to us by fhese veterans. What was at first merely economic became a moral struggle. What was at first to keep the states united, became a contest to keep the states united for a moral purpose. They changed their warfare from some- thing mechanical to something chivalric. Honor and justice and freedom infused virility ‘into machines and human bodies. and their spiritual tides flowed full and with broad embracing sweeps. When Lincoln threw down the gauntlet with h_ great human gesture for humad emancipation, he interpreted the new American solidarity in terms of its moral purpose. And here today are these mem- orable men who remind us of the vast Wost who carried on that work of in- terpretation, by sacrificial deaths as well as dedicated lives. From their lives we have received this first great gift: the truth that tha worth of national soiidar- ity depends up the nature of its moral purpose. A second gift these memorable men have bequeathed to us in this compli- mentary truth: that the best defense of a nation is the moral advance of its citizenry. All the periodic struggles, which every nation has to endure, proves that fact. Without such moral advance nations enter upon their deaths. Maturi- ty is always a marg/®g forward, years but most of all in experience. REV. ALEXANDER H.-ABBOTT Memorial Day Speaker Even a test of strength Is essentially a test in moral. “With a firmness to do the right as God gives us to see the right” Is not that the great interpre: tation of moral advance, uttered by the Wwar's greatest prophet? They who in the south lost their immediate cause, have been ever since building for the nation's inviolable defence; and they who in the north won the physical struggle through the, preponderance of physical forces, have ever been wont to confess that such forces are not enough, and accordingly have strétched their hands southward to add to the advancing moral integrity. In union their is strength? Yes!—but only When that union is defended by the mor- al advance of the entire citizenry. This is the second great fact bequeathed to us by the men who played their part in the American crisis of the sixties. Here today we remember the great deeds of these and other comrades of our Civil war. They created many changes in American life. But if we reckon ev- ery economic and political change, can we find anything quite so important as the gifts we have indicated: the truth that the worth of national solidarity de- pends upon the nature of its moral pur- pose ; and the second truth that the best defence of a nation is the moral ad- vance of its eitizenry? Let us deck their graves with perennials for these two gifts. Let us acclaim their living breth- ren as the vigorous representatives of high and splendid warriors for these es- bers in the past year was read as follows by Rev. Mr. Biddle: Roswell Butler, Co.

Let us never forget the men of both north and | Mrs. in| plete and perfect thing, we' might stop here and say no more. But disorders and divergences, kindred in nature to those preceding the older generations, create our own divided househoid. Again we have entered the period of crisis, more virulent, more perturbed, more uncertain than that of the earlier days. Veterans of the Civil war touch shoulder with those of the Spanish war, and they with the immediate shoulders of veterans of the war just finished. And the mem- ories of lives given heroically for the nation, when cruel and blasphemous forces necessitated, make us ask, “Was it in vain?” Shall we deal with memo- ries merely to rehearse old heroism, or &hall we call up memories to stimulate newer dedications? We ought to see, with utmost clarity, that the bequests of the ancient are given to us as trustees. Our own conflicting days demand that we use them to the last least limit. What these men gave us is worefully needed by us in these latesi days. The two great truths they beqmeathed are facts we cannot possibly do without. We must learn -again the truths you gave us, for we need these truths more than anything else. We must make hon- or, justice, righteousness not mere terms of our lips but the attitude of our daily life in the occupations in which we are engaged. We thank you for your lives and your gifts. You lighted ancient al- tars and we will endeavor to keep these altars burning by our contact with the living God. : America and Taps.
