MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day, sometimes called Decoration Day,
while not generally considered one of our outstanding
legal holidays, is nevertheless a day that should com
mand the thoughtful consideration of every citizen.
Memorial Day was first established, shortly after
the Civil War, in memory of the soldiers and sailors of
the North and South, who died upon the field of battle.
Processions and oratory were the order of the day,
along with the decoration of graves. This annual cus
tom has come to us down through the years, and has
been given added impetus with each recurring war.
The Spanish-Ainerican War and the late great
World War are kept fresh in the minds of the last two
generations by the thoughtful reflections engendered by
the annual observance of Memorial Day.
Of late years the custom has been to include in the
decorative ceremonies of the day, the graves of depart
ed loved ones, with less of oratory and the pomp and
pagentry of parade.
Memorial Day through its reason of origin, and
through its broadening of observation, carries an under
lying message to the minds and hearts of all Americans.
It not only has reaffirmed to us the age old principle of
honoring the dead, but it has forcefully brought home
to us the utter futility of war; the slaughter of man by
man. and sometimes brother by brother.
Is it not also a time to purge the heart of hate; to
cleanse the mind of petty jealousies; to curb the wagg
ing tongue: to make your peace with your neighbor, and
to determine to make the town in which you live a place
where all can dwell in amity?
There was written many years ago. an immortal
poem, that should be in the hearts of everyone on Mem
orial Day—It goes like this:
"By the flow of the inland river
Whence the fleets of iron have fled.
Where the blades of the grave grass quiver,
Asleep are the links of the dead.
“Under the sod and the dew
Awaiting the judgement day,
Under the laurel—the Blue,
Under the willow—the Grey.
"No more let the war cry sever.
Or the winding rivers be red.
We banish our anger forever
\\ hen we flower the graves of our dead.”
Why do so many persons, while seated, waiting for
someone, or in a train or street car, or sanding on the
street—keep one foot 'patting,” a hand "durmming” or
some other useless motions that consume energy? Pos
sibly nerves, but what's the good of it
Why will a slender lady so often criticise an over
plump person, until she gets that way, then find such
alibis as “a plump person is better natured;” ‘‘it’s more
becoming to me than being slender,” etc. ?
Why does a dog turn around three times before lying?
