church Sunday morning, tba
Rev. L. A. Welliver, preaebed
the annual memorial sermon to
veterans of tbe Grand Army and
of other wars, taking as hia tbeme
"This day shall be a memorial
to yoo."
Using the Jewish passover aa a*j
type, he stressed the meaning et
memoral aa "think again." Tbe
horror and tragedy of war should
be brought to mind as tbe deeds
ot valor of tbe honored dead ars
recounted, Tbe best tribute to
their memory would be tbe
abolition of war. Tbe day of
memory should be a day ot
dedication, of obedience, of
vision, a day ot recognition
of commission, of obligation to
see that peace be not more foal
than ' war, a day of spiritual
blessing.

safety apron, which is really  for
tbe safety of spectators, or huge
timbers flying into   the air like
