finished fresh without a single mishap

been made to care for the instances of
fatigue that have always been Insep
arable from Grand Army parades in
these later years.
Every State Cheered.
To every state, as Its own colors
wept past with ths companion gleam
of Old Glory, the crowd gave Its own
cheer, as lustily for the units of sev-
eral comrades as for the ranks that
marched in hundreds. In those who
had met to pay them tribute all com
monwealths of the Union were repre
ented and all were one.
From Florida came a single com
rade. W. H. Crosier. He stepped It off
alone, with the formation placard lilted
as his banner sans colors, sans com
rades, sans drum corps, but with a
proper pride. His was a Vermont regi
ment, and by the arrangement of the
parade he marched not with his old
comrades, but for his present post and
state.
And Delaware carried Its banners
and its distinction with but two vet
erans of the three who are at the en
campment. They were O. J. Cook and
J. S. Litxenberg, and they looked not
at all lonely, for, even as Florida, they
were singled out for Individual ap
plause. Though many wore ths Grand Army
regulation uniform, not a few had
cocked it with insignia that were
famous In the old days, and several
marched in the weathered and time
frayed garb that Union soldiers donned
when Lincoln called for men.
Old Cap Won arias Fray.
Above the visor of a wilted, vener
able forage cap ran the bright metal
lettering of the Pennsylvania Veteran
Volunteers the same cap that its
wearer had from the quartermaster
when he asked for another go at the
Confederacy.
Cavalierly thrown around the Grand
Army hats and forage caps in a score
of Instances were plumes of fur. Again
the crowd was stumped: but those who
asked the veterans themselves learned
that the plume was the insignia of one
of the most dreaded sharpshooter regi

cups for the refreshment of the com

"You need not mention my name,
said a G. A. R. veteran from West
Virginia, "but I am sure I could recruit
a regiment from the veterans here to
day who could smash hell out of the
Huns if they'd fight us with our own
weapons, the bayonet. We don't know
anything about gas, airplanes and
poison bombs, but we did and still do
understand the rifle and the bayonet,
and, by the eternal, I'll bet our boys
in France will teach the Huns that it
is the bayonet that will next year send

That the doctrine of the natural-immortality
of the soul brings God's law
into contempt, calls Into question his
wisdom, goodness and justice, brings
reproach upon his character, belittles
and misconstrues the work of Christ
and hinders the work and progress of
the gospel were declarations made by
Evangelist L. K. Dickson at the big
tent pavilion. Thirteenth and Morrison
streets, last night In his lecture on
"Heaven. Hell and Purgatory Where
Are the Dead?" He showed quite clearly
from the Bible that there is no con
sciousness after death, and that immor
tality is possessed only by God.
The lecturer made It plain that death
Is not a modification of life, nor a con
tinuation of life under different envir
onments, and emDhaaized the teachina
of the Bible that when the breath leaves
the body at death the thoughts perish,
and there is no remembrance of any
thing under the sun. He said that after
man dies he returns to the dust in the
grave, and will remain so until God by
His almighty power unites once more
the spirit with inanimate dust.
dying humanity. So, taklne- our stand
on the immutable rock of God's word,
we turn away from all the wisdom of
men and inquire of Him 'whose word
is truth,' concerning the condition of
man in death.
"Death is not a modification of llf.
Death Is not a continuation of life un
der different environments. Death la
not a release into a fuller life. Death,
is not life in misery. Death is not lifa
At all in any condition whether good or
bad. To dis is not to live. To die is
to stop living.
"Death is a complete cessation of life.
Death does not mean to go to heaven.
Death does not mean to go to hell.
Death does not mean to go to purga
tory. Death does not mean to go any
where. Death means an end of life.
Nothing that I have stated or will state
should be interpreted as meaning that
there will be no future life. There will
be a future life, but this future life is
not a continuation of the life that now
is. It is entirely a new life and begins
not at the time of death, but at the
time of the resurrection from death.
"Paul informs us in I Thess. 5:23 that
man is made up of the spirit, soirl and
body, and in our perusal of the Bible we
are not left to theorize upon what these
integral parts of man are, for as we
turn to the creation of man in the be
ginning we read, 'And the L,ord God
formed man of the dust of the ground,'
that is. He made his body, and 'breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; that
is, He gave him a spirit,' and man be
came a living soul." Gen. 2:7. Thus we
have the dust as one part united wltli
the breath or spirit as the second part
producing the living soul. One mlRht
compare this formation to a simple sum
in arithmetic. Three and two make the
sum of five. The dust is three, tho
breath or spirit is two, the soul Is five.
Eliminate either three or two and you
have done away with the five, or th
eoul. Where is it? It is not. The dust
by itself is inanimate and the breath
is inanimate until It is united with
something-. Separated, man returns to
the dust, just the place where God said
he would return. 'For dust thou art,
and unto dust thou shalt return.' Gen.
3:19.
"Man returns to the dust In the grave,
therefore will remain in the grave until
God by His almighty power unites onca
more the spirit or breath with inani
mate dust. Job In speaking of man's
condition in death once said, 'So man
lieth down, and rlseth not: till tha
heavens be no more, they shall not
awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

time will I wait till my change come.

to Savannah, then to Charleston and
later to Columbia. It was here that

were subsequently- captured. Mr.
Welch- and his companion were later
pursued by a home guard unit composed
of Southern whites and Cherokee In

Savannah River into Georgia.
Here they found themselves In a wild

outlaws.
