Memoiial day wa ohwtrved-in this
city in a manner that properly evinced
the love, patriotiim and reverence due
the tnomory of the heroea who reaponded
to their country' call and who are now
aleeping the laat long sleep In the silent
cities of the dead.
The Memorial sermon was preached on
Sunday afternoon at Shlvely'a opera
boune by Rev. A. Hillebrand, of St.
John's Catholic church, and was atten
ded by about 600 people, Meade post
No. 2, U. A. It. under whose auspices
the services were held, the Woman's
Relief Corps and "F" Company, 0. N. O.
occupying seata In the center of the ball.
The stage waa decorated with bunting
and adorned with the pictures of Presi
dents Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison,
and McKinley, and General Logan.
The choir, composed of some of the
beet singers of the city under the direc
tion of Mrs. J. II. Strickler, with Miss
Ora Spangler as organiat, rendered ex
cellent music, while the Oceola band,
under the leadership of M. W, Randall,
enlivened the occaaion with patriotic
aira before and after the service. Rev.
Hillebrand said at the opening of his
address that it might seem queer to
some people that a man who was not a
a native of this country should be
called upon to apeak upon such an oc
casion, but aaaured the audience that
the same fueling of patriotism and love
of country that inspired the boys in
blue to deed of heroism and valor had
been his every since be came to this
land of ours. Love of country and recog
nltion of God was the theme of the
discourse, (he history of the nations of
the past being cited to show that it was
useless to establish a government with'
out a belief in God. That this was
esentially a Christian nation, though no
mention of God was made in the con
stitution. Love of country prompts us
to do whatever will rienetit that country
and U shown by a due respect for the
rulers of the country and obedience to
its laws. Honored the noble men who
had put in the contititution the right to
worship God as we pleased. Made a
strong plea for charity, the greatest of
all virtues, and said the Catholic church
never raised a voice against the estab
lishment of republics and that when
the government was In danger of over
flow they had fotmht side by side with
members of other churches in defence
of the Aug. Admonished parents to
instill into the minds of their children
the love of God and love of country and
to teach thera to honor and reverence
the men who laid down their lives in
defence of the old flag.
At the close of the discourse Mrs. J.
II. Strickler sang "Junt Before the
Battle, Mother," so tenderly and sym
pathetically that many of the old soldiers
were moved to tears as the memory of
thoee stirring scenes of strife in the
Nation's great struggle in which as boys
they took part came once again before
them.
The exercises closed with the grand
old patrotic hymn, "America", sung
lustily by choir and audience.
Monday was rather unpropitioua for
the exercises of Memorial day, several
quite hard showers falling dur ng the
march to the cemetery and during the
oration by Captain Ormsby.
At 9:30 a. ni. the children of St.
John's school assembled at Willamette
hall with a number of citizens and
members of post and corps, where short
but appropriate addresses were delivered
by Rev. Hillebrand and Judge Gallo
way. Capt. Ormsby and Alex Thomson.
It was expected that City Superintend
ent Holmes would be present with his
school and also make an address, but
through some over-sight the directors
failed to to notify him that Monday was
to be a holiday and he knew nothing of
the contemplated address until the
afternoon of Monday, when of course it
was too late. After waiting as long as
he could fer an escort, in accordance
with the official notice published In the
Entkrpmsk of last week, he sent 2 of
his pupils to the hall with flowers, un
attended. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock the proces
sion formed on Main street under direc
tion of Chief Marshal Kelly and aids in
the following order: Oceola band ; 'F"
company, 0. N. G; Meade Post. No. 2,
G. A. It j speakers of the day and re
presentatives of the relief corps in
carriages. When the procession arrive
at the Eastham school building the
scholars under the direction of Principal
McAdam and tha other teachers fell in
just in the rear nf Meade Post.
On the arrival at the cemetery a
hollow square was formed about the
plot where the old soldiers were Interred.
The services opened with a dirge by the
band, followed by the beautiful ritualis
tic ceremony of the order conducted by
Commander Moore and Adjutant Wil
liama with prayer by Key. A. J. Mont
gomery and crowning of the moiinment
by Officer of the Day Walker, Following
the rendilion of the ritualistic reremome
the pupils of Eaxthatn school filed by
and deposited flowers around the monu
ment. Judge Wm. Galloway then delivered
an eloquent address on onr "Unknown
Dead" and spoke In feeling terms of the
sorrow of the father and mother as their
loved one went forth to the conflict and
never returned. How the soldier offered
his life on the altar of bis country and
sleeps in some unknown trencb on a
Southern batt le field. A nd that on this day
when others have the graves of their loved
ones to decorate, the sorrow is only the
more poignant because of the uncertainty
surrounding the fate of their loved one.
The address happily blended the memo
ries of the rugged past, the Joya of the
living present and the hope of the
glorious future. The Judge closed with
a glowing tribute to the hih apprecia
tion in which the Amercan people held
the few remaining member of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Toe Relief Corps then conducted their
impressive service and decorated the
monument with garlands and flowers,
placing two beautiful wreaths on the top.
Capt, 8. B. Ormsby, ex-department com
mander of the Grand Army of the
Republic for Oregon, was the orator of
the day and his address though delivered
under difficulties, the rain falling most
of the time, was listened to with marked
attention by the large audience. Mr.
Ormsby traced the history of this
country from the founding of James
town in 1607 and the settlement of
Plymouth in 1620 down through the
various epochs and stages of our national
life to the present day, showing how
the seeds of slavery planted in the
southern part of our country in 1620
grew and flourished under the favorable
conditions of the Sunny South until it
attained such magnitude as to shake a
continent and deluge a land in blood.
How the champions of human slavery
and the champions of freedom fought
side by side for more than 70 years,
vieing with each other in deeds of valor
and heroism on many a hard fought
field, until I860 when slavery had
assumed such proportions and made so
many demands upon the government
that in was called upon to stop by a
great political party that said to this
monster, "thus far shalt thou go and no
farther." Defeated in their attempts at
peaceful aggression its supporters left
the halls of congress, threw down the
ganntlet of war and appealed to the
abitrament of the sword. He then re
ferred eloquently to the hallowed spot
in the South and where Moultire lived,
where Sumpter fought, where Marion
starved and suffered for the cause, where
Jaoper fell and died with the lolda of the
flag around him, where on that hallowed
ground made sacred by all the memories
of the past rebellion set up its standard
and fired upon the old fliig, and even old
glory hanging down over the dismantled
and ruined battlements of Sumpter
uttered an eloquent though silent protest
against the crime of that people. This
attack on Fort Sumpter fired the loyal
heart of the North and the farmer left
his plow, the carpenter hii bench, the
blacksmith his forge, etc , and donning
the garb of the soldier went to the de
fense of the Union. The speaker did
not attempt to giye an outline of the con
test that followed or tell of the valor, the
heroism, the endurance, the constancy,
the suffering or the final triumph of
the cause of freedom or to depict the
long and weary marches through the
mud and rain, the lonely bivouac fire,
the starved and emaciated skeletons
from the Southern prison-pens, the
terrible scenes of the hospital and the
battle-fielda. the charging squadrons, the
roar of cannon, the roll of musketry or
the shriek of shell.
Mr. Ormsby paid a glowing tribute to
the memory and services of the loyal
women of the North who labored at
home preparing supplies for the sick and
wounded at the front and in the hospitals
where were laid the suffering forms of
the sick and wounded soldiers where
she kept her midnight vigils. Honor
her devotion, honor her patriotism and
emulate her noble example. These
great organizations of patriotic and
benevolent women in the world today
are like so many mighty armies march
ing on parallel roads and destined to a
common purpose. Stand by your ban
ners, you loyal women, tried and true.
The Grand army of the Republic was
organized in 1866 on the principles of
fraternity, charity and loyalty. Fra
