Comparisons. Grand Army men attending_the memo- rial service Sunday morning at the Church of the Good Shepherd (Universalist) heard an inspiring sermon from the pas- tor, Rev. George H. Welch, in which he declared that the greatest memorial which may live in the hearts of peofle today is | the consciousness that the boys of '61 were acting directly for the prolonged life of their country and were making history in the local phase of a world-wid evolution. The latest phase in the evolu. tion of world affairs is the revent great| world war. Now it is time to reiterate; with new emphasis that the gospel mes- sage of Jesus, the sharing and serving spirit of Christ, may be applied to the so- lution of the solving of the problems of democracy.

Ancient Rome, long mistress of the world, lost her ‘zlace when her philosophers began to quéstion her gods. France lost her pgwer in the world when her people began’to penetrate no further into the invisible than the natural life about her. It is a tangiblé fact that a government may not rise higher than the character f the people. While on the other hand the character of the people may lift a governn:ent. The gospel has always promoted the best and the highest in hu- man liberty. In all he said Jesus, made little reference to civil government, ex- cept to caution the people to submit to the existing forms. But he laid the foundation for a natural life that was bound ta have a tremendous influence. We cannot find any definite word in the New Testamez: about human slavery. And yet wherever the gospel goes it has the effect to strike the shackles from men’s hands. Therefore, With such traditions ana history behind us, it is a matter of deep interest that the manhood of this coun- try shguld not desire to compete with slave Mabor, ror tolerate a _ country founded on such a basis. The first and greatest memorial which | o hearts of people today is the conscious fact that the boys of '61 were act directly in the best in- terests of the prolonged life of the coun- try they claimed as th In the second place we would remem- the chapter of history made by you which was the local phase of a world- g lution.

We cannot think that Patriots who braved all, gave all, ex- pected ail, can have' died in vain. God is calling for a generation of men fully consecrated to His purposes. Men who shall be deeply conscious that their suf- ficiency for their work lies in God. And just in closing; the ranks of the G. A. R. are rapidly thinning year by year. Each Memorial day reveals still more who have gone to answer the last roll call. New men, new problems, new plans, come out day by day to take the place of those gone before. As a Te- sult new history is being written And your question naturally is per- haps. “After the last old soldier of the Grand Army of the Republic has been Jaid away, are we going to be forgotten by other generations?” _Keats answers this well the question is . “A thing of heauty is a loveliness increases, it will never pass to nothing- ness.” Yes, that is true. After the last man has gome, and 'everything has crumbled away, and even war itself shall be no more, still shall the memorial to your achievements live with us, in the chapter of history which you made, the only answer to a gospel that rings threughout the centuries never to die so long as men shall have ears tohear amd tongue to tell of its power.

Our government was founded upon the honesty of those men. And today, when we discover a certain lose of faith in goverrtments, we can only conclude that it is because they have lost of traits of the founders. It is a matter of common knowledze that any nation cannot long survive aft- er traits have been lost. Every nation | has had some kind of a definite and na- tional religion. It may have been gro- tesque and barbarous at times. It may have been false in its apprehension the truth of things. But in every case it bore a close\relation to its life.
