The Memorial Day services at the
First M E church were concluded last
evening A large congregation was
present and Pastor Henry preached an
eloquent sermon on Memorial Day I
and Its Lessons The choir furnished
special music both at the morning and
evening services a special feature of
the latter being a solo bv Mrs Plum
merRev Henrys sermon was substan
tially as follows
We are on the eve of one of the most
important anniversaries of the year
Important because it is in commemor
ation of a period in our national life
when the very foundations of our re
publican form of government were
most thoroughly tested important be
cause no nation can afford to permit
to sink into forgetfulness such loyal
services as were rendered by our patri I
otic heroes during the dark days of the
civil war Important because of the I
lessons of loyalty and patriotism j
which the proper observance of this
day cannot fail to inculcate
To me there is something sacred
about Memorial Day It is not a mere
holiday An occasion for mere bois
terous sports and thoughtless merri
ment It is fraught with deepest meai
ing and is celebrated with a feeling of
reverent joy and gratitude that is
tinged with sadness In a quiet corner
of a little churchyard slonlnc ienty
toward the village where I was born in
central New York my father lies
buried Over his crave tomorrow will
float the flag that he followed in the
field Loving hands of surviving com
rades v ill cover the mound with flow
ers Loving hearts will remember his
loyalty and devotion I can remember
my mother taking me 8 little fellow
who knew not the meaning of her tears
to that quiet spot and telling me he
Ftory of her life and his and Dlantms
in my heart a love and reverence for
every irue man who woie the blue
hEre are others among you who
hive similar memories and to you this
day is sacred for personal reason
Who is there among us who cherishes
a IOP for countrv and who has the
slightest appreciation of the meaning
of Memorial Dav who is not stirr
oy tile thoughts it recalls I carl us I
back t the darkest period of American
history When the nation tha our
toreiathers founded was threatened
wilt disruption when the morir lues
of I uropr were looking to see the utu
failure of a republican form of govern
ment when lovers of liberty all thi
world over were confounded oy the
prospective overthrow of ail their
hopes In the issue about to be trr1
by the arbitrament of arms there was
more at stake than the mere Question
of slavery more at stake than thc
question of states rights and rational
sovereignty more even than the qUes
tion of union or disunion The question
to be decided was in the lansuase of
Lincolns Gettysburg address that
government of the people by the peo
ple for the people shall not perish from
the earth The whole civilized world
was interested in the gathering of thai
ominous stormcloud that came rolling
slowly out of the south and that threat
ened to carry before it the truest ideals
o human government that had yet
found expression in the history of any
people Our memories are short They
are not very vivid after the passing of
a generation I this were not true we
would not need to be reminded of the
tremendous issues at stake The world
had just emerged from the dark
ness of the middle ages from
scenes of oppression cruelty and tyr
anny almost inconceivable But a few
generations separated us from St Bar
tholomews day and from the relentless
persecutions of Puritans and Dissenters
In Holland and England Men were still
living who had heard the first readin
of the declaration of independence Our
republic was in its infancy its char
acter had never been severely tested
I was almost inconceivable to those
who held to the old ideals of the divine
right of kings that I could stand the
test when it came For many years
there had been the mutterings of dis
content The word disunion had
been whispered among the dissatisfied
had been uttered aloud in the heat of
debate had forced its way into news
paper editorials had even been ut
tered in the national senate chamber
How magnificent was that preliminary
strife upon the senate floor when Web
ster and Hayne Sumter Calhoun and
Clay engaged in debate upon the most
momentous political question of any
age and then the ferment among the
people north and south and then the
appeal to arms Like an electricthrill
the word went through every city vil
lage and hamlet Fort Sumter has
been fired upon
There are many present this evening
who > distinctly recall the excitements
and emotions of those days when the
call had come from Washington for
volunteers and the whole north was
turned into a recruiting camp when
there was everywhere the bustle of
preparation when whole companies of
fathers husbands brothers were
marching out of almost every village
Chaplain now Bishop McCabe says
We opened the doors of the regiment
just as we pen the doors of the church
with prayer and song What en
thusiasm that old recruiting song in
spired
We are coming we are coming
The Union to restore
We are coming Father Abraham
Six hunderd thousand more
I there was any hesitating one In
the audience the chaolain said he
would generally yield when we sing
If you look up all the valleys
Where the jrrowins harvfests shine
You can see our sturdy farmer boys
Fast falling into line
And children from their mothers knees
Are pulling at the weeds
And learning how to reap and sow
Against their countrys needs
And a farewell group stands weeping
At every cottage door
We are coming we are coming
Six hundred thousand more
Do you think that memories of those
days do not live in the hearts of the
old soldiers and of their gray haired
wives and mothers Think of the weary
waiting on the part of those left be
hind the rumors of battle the eager
search for news the questions Is he
wounded Has tie fallen Is his
name among the missing The slow
letters from the front The weeks
dragging into months and years and
still the war going on alternate vie
t ry and defeat the final news of vic
tory the returnin many cases as sad
as the departure
Mingled with these a different set of
memories scenes of camp life faces
ot old comrades long weary marches
midnight picket the swift sharp crack
of rifle shots in the woods the Held
of battle its tremors its forgetfulness
its excitements screaming of shell far
off thunder of big guns the faces or
th dead the groans of the dying the
<
hospital the prison The past rises be
fore you each detail is photographed
upon your brain your soul is thrilled
your pulse beats more quickly I have
seen the quick tears start to the eyes
of strong men under the influence of
these memories
Why should we recall the past In
order that we may the better appre
ciate at what a cost war preserved to
us the heritage received from our fore
fathers In order to stimulate our grat
itude into active exercise in behalf of
those true men who offered their lives
for the preservation of the Union
There is inspiration in the past that
should inspire us to noble deeds in the
present
Our country still demands heroism
fromloyal upright men The war cloud
has passed The danger of disunion is
no more The bitterness of sectional
strife has passed away Our nation is
a unit May her boundaries never grow
less But all the problems of a repub
lican form of government have not been
solved All the battles have not been
won We have a foe to our national
prosperity in private immorality In
temperance that debauches the indi
vidual will ruin the nation The
strength of a republic is found in the
character of her citizens I anything
is treason that saps the nations life
blood that weakens her defenses then
that is treason that robs her citizens of
strength of body clearness of brain
and pureness of morals We need a
body of patriotic citizens who are brave
enough to be true to themselves
There is danger to be guarded against
in the great influx of foreign influences
and unAmerican ideas Americanize
every foreign element
There is danger in the spoils sys
tem In politics and in the dishonest
methods of grasping monopolies
There is danger in the dictatorial
in public affairs assumed by
power afairs a
handful of great capitalists
There is danger in the threatening
attitude of certain classes of our pop
ulation toward our flag and what it
represents
The battles that are yet to be fought
demand the same qualities of moral
i heroism that made the heroes o the
past Let us with these thoughts come
to the celebration of Memorial day I
I close this address by repeating the
words pronounced one year ago today
by the Hon lam McKInley presi
dent of the United States
The services we have performed to
day has done us all good because the
service was one o love love for the
men who imperiled their lives to save
the country and because of the service
of loyalty to the country they saved
I can imagine no more beautiful trib
ute to be paid to heroism and self
sacrifice to loyalty and patriotism
than the service which the people Qf
this country and every section of this
country paid to its dead today not
only in the north hut in the south In
every part of our common country cit
izens have turned aside from their bus
mess their toil and their labors to
pay tribue to the men who saved the
country for freedom and nationality
I is the business of those who come
after us to see that this liberty of the
greatest government on Jhe face of the
earth shall be preserved unimpaired
forever and forever more
Stretched across the capitol at
Washington in letters that can be read
by all are these words There is one
debt this nation can never Day That
is the debt they owe the men who
saved the nation That was true then
and is true now When we look into
your faces and remember you as you
were then mere boys we honor you
and the old soldiers net closer to
gether Their hearts are with each
other Not only do they get closer to
gether but the people begin to appre
ciate more thoroughly the sacrifices
valor willingness to give up their last
drop of blood that their country should
be saved
God bless you Mayyou ever live
in our memories The victories which
you have achieved are just as much
for our children as they were for you
and they were for the common good of
all the United States What we want
now is a patriotic issue that will not
die They will stand faithfully firmly
unyieldingly for that for which their
fathers have established and their
children will maintain it too

I TO BUILD FROM MTLFORD
A Story About the Oregon Short
I Lines Plan
Pioche Record A nearer railroad
I connection than Milford is among the
possibilities for Pioche and surround
l ing country before snow flies again
R C Eccles and R C Lund were in
town on Tuesday on their way jack to
I Milford from a trip to points south o
here which would be tributary to the
Ii Oregon Short Line i extended south
of Milford The object of Mr Eccles
tour was to report on the present con
1 dltlon of the grade and the country as
t compared with what it was when the
1 grade built in 1S90 was constructed
Together with Mr Lund he has just
i I finished a careful inspection of the
fnished from Milford here He stated
i I L rde frm Uford
that the grade is in almost perfect con
dition from Milford to the summit just
i i dilon the state line in this count but
that in the Clover Wash both the
I grade and tunnels have suffered from
washouts and cavings to such an ex
i I tent that it will cost a material cart
1 t of the original expense to put them in
I any shape and for the present he
I doubted if I would be done
i
He expressed the belief however that
i 1 the grade would be utilized for SO miles
or to the summit where grades for
I switches etc exist and that the work
might be commenced this season
This would bring Pioche to within
about 25 miles of the terminus travel
ing by way of Dry valley I would
bring the state line county on the Ne
vada side within a much nearer dis
tance and would materially assist the
development and opening of that sec
tion The railroad company is looking
for tonnage and the Nevada end of
State Line district contains the silver
properties which promise an enormous
output and which need railroad facili
I ties to enable them to make It
It would stimulate further prospecting

power to cast the scale for this side or
