3IEH0RIAL DAY SERVICES.
Address of Rev, 6. 0. Hall at the Congre
gational Church.
Memorial day was generally ob
served as a holiday yesterday, the
banks, public buildings, stores, etc,
being mostly closed, and appropriate
observance was made of the day.
In the afternoon a proceasien was
formed at two o'clock, on Cass street,
which marched to the cemetery. In
front was the Western Amateur band,
which appeared for the first time in
the new uniforms, making a very fine
and showy appearance. As thev
marched they played a dirge; they
were followed by Co, "H.,M O. N. G.,
with arms .reversed; the Woman's
Belief Corps, the ladies'carryingmag-
umcsnt aorai aecoranons; al
ter, them, headed by the -flag, came
Cushing Post N07 14, Q. A. B.
It was an impressive, thought as the
procession marched down ihe street,
that a thousand other processions,
on the same mission,- were marching
in the streets of other cities of the
Union, with banners draped and
arms reversed, bands playing the
dead march and ladies carrying flow
ers and wreaths to lovingly and sor
rowfully decorate the graves of the
soldier dead.
Arrived at the cemetery, the militia
opened ranks, the corps and post
passed through, and prayer and per
formance of the liturgy occupied the
next few minutes. As- the po3t fell
back, Co. 'H.1 walked forward nd
fired three volleys; then stepped to
the right and the ladies of the Wom
an's Belief Corps decorated the
graves with flowers and floral
wreaths.
The processioa reformed, the band
played a livelier tune, the militia car
ried their guns at Tight shoulder
shift, and the parade moved to the
Congregational church, yrhere Kev.
G. C. Hall, the pastor of the church,
and a member of the G. A. B , deliv
ered the following
MEMOBIAIi ADDRE33:
Comrades and Fellow Citizens: It is
entirely foreign tome, to come before
an audience with exousea or apolo
gies, and it is with great reluctance
that I yield to what I have ever
deemed a weakness on the part of
any speaker, but in justice to the no.
ble organization under whose auspices
we are met as well as iu justice to my
self.let me say that not until af terl had
read The Astobian of Friday last did
I know that a stated address would
be expected of me at this time.
Being a minister, I had then to finish
my preparations for the morning and
evening services of yesterday; there
fore, may I not ask that, in kind in
dulgence, you cover with a. mantle of
charity whatever of crudities shall ap
pear in my remarks on this occasion.
Having worn the blue and being a
member of the G. A. B., 1 could not
refuse to respond to the invitation to
address this gathering. Indeed, I
esteem it high honor to be selected
to pay a tribute of respect to the
memory of our comrades, sleeping in
the city of the dead, to whom, under
God, we owe the preservation of this
Union, and the perpetuation of those
principles of free government so
highly and so justly prized by every
patriotic American citizen.
To-day it has been our patriotio
duty, and sacred privilege sb well;
with solemn and impressive service
to lay floral tributes of respect .and
love upon the graves of some that re
sponded to our country's call for vol
unteer defenders in the hour of her
greatest peril. No time could be
more propitious for such a worthy
purpose and fitting ceremony than
these last days of spring when nature
has covered the earth with verdure
and strewn floral beauty thickly
among the trees and the grasses.
This is a holy day, set apart by act
of congress, for loving hearts to scat
ter, with willing hands, sweet flowers,
dewy with grateful tears, upon the
graves of onr honored dead. More
than a quarter of a oentury has
elapsed since the tocsin of war was
sounded by the cannon that battered
the walls of it Sumter, and lax mem
ory has, in a measure, let go hechold
upon the terrible eyents that followed
in quick succession that historic bom
bardment Little did they who then
precipitated the war of the rebellion
anticipate the awful period of car
nage that they then and there inaugu
rated. Before me is a telegram, sent more
than twenty-six years ago, dated
"Charleston, S. C7 April 12, 1861."
It says, "The ball is opened; war is
inaugurated. The batteries of Sulli
van's Island and other points were
opened on Ft. Sumter at four o'clock
this morning. Ft. Sumter has re
turned the fire and a brisk cannonade
is being kept up."
Yes, my friends, and that cannon
ade, not half so brisk and destructive
as that which followed during a pe
riod of nearly five years, that brisk
cannonade kindled the patriotic in
dignation of the free sons of the
north, who left the farm, the shop,
the store and the office to take part
in the war, so inaugurated, that they
might preeerye the Union whioh
these traitors would destroy.
The brave boys who took part in the
war for the preservation of the Union,
and overthrew the slaveholders' aris
tocracy, were no hireling, conscript
band. They voluntarily, left comfort
able homes, where parents, brothers
ana sisters, or wives ana cauaren
formed happy home circles, left them
for the tented field, for the dangers
and discomforts of war, with no hope
of reward save the consciousness of
patriotic duty peffosned. No one
within the sound of my voice have
better, or happier homes than many
of them left for thestern duties of
a soldier. As examples" of thought
ful,' patriotic manliness, history fur
nishes no peers of those who joined
the tanks of the i volunteer army dur
ing the war.
This memorial calls to mind the
faoee and forms of many dear to me,
who paid the last full measure of de
votion to their country on the field
of battle, or in the dreary field hospi
tal. The company which, as a mere
lad, I entered in 1861, was made np
of old acquaintances, schoolmates
and friends, wholly annsed to danger
and privation, but who shrank from
neither when and where duty called.
Some of them many of them fell in
battle; some died in rebel prisons,
many in the hospitals, and of the
remnant left at the close of the war,
most have joined their comrades gdne
before.
I have not time, nor is it my pur
pose to reoite their valorous deeds
and tell of their sufferings. No pan
oramas con portray, no pens depict,
no tongues tell the horrors of war.
Not alone on the field of battle where
the cry of the death-struck, the groan
of the wounded, mingled with shout,
roar and rattle greet the ear, and the
bleeding forms of loved comrades
meet the eye not there only, but in
hthe hospital where pale-faced -boys
gasp and die without a word of love.
for the touch of a loving hand, and
Mn desolate houses "where the anxious
tremble for the fate of loved ones in
the battle .front, and the bereft weep
for the non-returning brave, there,
there may the horrors of war be seen
and felt
.TBe G. A. B. is a fraternity of those
who took part in the war for the pres
ervation of the- Union and they are
banded together to assist their
wounded and enfeebled comrades; to
comfort and care for the widows and
orphans of those who fell during the
war, and of those soldiers who since
the war have paid the last debt of
nature common to all mankind. They
are banded together to protect their
rights to whom the nation owes its
existence; to preserve the esprit de
corps of that great volunteer army
that under such leaders as Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan crushed the
greatest rebellion known to history,
and they are banded together to keep
fresh the memory of our departed
heroes. Our organization will soon
be extinct, as death is more and more
rapidly depleting onr ranks, while
age steals upon those who alone can
be in its membership.
The sad, loving office over which
the gray-haired boys of the G. A. B.
now preside, must soon be committed
to the hands of their children.
With this thought comes sad ques ques
teonings: Will coming generations
be true to the cause of human rights
and liberty, of law and order, of so
cial justice and national rectitude?
Will they honor our dead by serving
the country for which they died?
Will they continue to obsorve this
"festival of the dead," by gathering
each year in the cemeteries where
their patriotic ancestors are buried,
to decorate their graves, not only
"with floral tributes that must
fade, but with that charity
that isj fruitful of good works;
with thot loyalty which, while true to
our country's flag, is supremely de
voted to the cross, tho Bymbol of our
Xaith?" Or will they, forgetful of the
debt of gratitude resting upon them,
allow the memories of their brave
sires to bo buried, in oblivion, ana
their graves to be leveled through
their ungratiful forgetfulnesB? The
editor of the Omaha Republican has
well said that: "To scatter flowers
upon their graves, and care for their
loved ones, is all that we can do for
the men who have done so mnoh
more than that for ns. When we
shall cease'to do that out of tho warm
gratitude of our hearts, the republic
will not deserve to exist as a nation."
My friends, is it not highly fitting
that this memorial shall be religious
ly observed bo long as the stars and
stripes shall float over the capitols of
the states whose unification and
present nmty is due to their heroic
endeavors who "stood between war's
desolation and our loved homes?"
It is true they need no monuments
to tell of what they achieved, other
than that of a united, happy, prosper
ous nation, untrammeled in its pray
ers and unvexed by dissention.
This monument they have erected to
their own honor and may it be pre
served by our children's patriotism,
unimpaired by time, a precious legacy
for coming centuries, but we and our
posterity do need monuments
erected to their memory on which
shall be inscribed tho cost of liberty,
counted in the tears and blood of its
purchase price.
The poet Longfellow, standing by
"A Nameless Grave," wrete:
" 'A soldier of the Union mustered out
Is the inscription of an unknown crave.
At Newport News, beside the salt sea
wave,
Nameless and dateless; sentinel or scout
Shot down in skirmish or disastrous
route,
Of battle, when the loud artillery drovo
Its iron wedges through tho ranks of
brave
And doomed battalions, storming the
redoubt."
"Thou unknown hero sleeping by the
sea,
In thy forgotten grave; with secrej.
shame.
I feel my pulses bent, my forehead
burn
When I remember thou hast given for
me,
All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very
name
And I can give thee nothing iu return."
We indeed can give them nothing
in return for their great sacrifice who
yielded up their lives for us: we can
give them nothing in return save our
love's grateful remembrance which,
while it honors them, ennobles us.
In the beautiful language of our ritu
al, we may "recall their toils, their
sufferings, their heroism, their su
preme fidelity in camp, in prison pen,
on the battle field and in the hos
pital, that the flag under which they
fought, and from the shadow of whose
folds they were promoted, may never
be dishonored; that the country for
whose union and supremacy they sur
rendered life, may have the fervent
and enthusiastic devotion of every
citizen; that as we stand by every
grave as before an altar, we pledge
our manhood that the memory of onr
dead shall encourage and strengthen
in us all a more loyal patriotism."
To-day, thanks to the boys of 18G1,
our Union is linked by the briny wa
ters of old ocean washing the new
shores of Washington, Oregon and
California on the westjwasliing the old
shores of tho thirteen colonies be
tween Florida and Maine on the east;
it is linked by silvery waters spring
ing from thousands, of fountains in
the far north or leaping from their
mountain home in the Bookies; unit
ing and uniting till, as a mighty flood,
they roll to the gulf in our own Mis
sissippi that "now goes unvexed to
the sea." It is linked by steel bands
over which thunders the locomotive,
bearing in its tram our products from
north to south, from south to north,
from east to west, from west to east,
in reciprocal exchange; bearing hap
py hearts from home io home, from
city to city and from state to state in
social and business intercourse; and
bearing printed and written intelli
gence upon wings swifter than tho
wind. Our Union is now threaded
by electric wires flashing every sensa
tion of joy or sorrow, peril or pleas
ure, news or business, like as a great
nerve system, from city to city, from
village to village, so that no partof
our great commonwealth can suffer
injury without affecting every other
part. More than all, better than all,
the Union is now linked together in
the hearts of our people, east and
west, north and south, by an intelli
gent appreciation of its incalculable
worth to this, and to succeeding gen
erations. With a just and true appreciation
of. the value of this great nnion of
independent dependent states, now
purged from the stain of chattel
slavery, wo cannot but cherish the
memory of those who have given so
much, counted in treasure, suffering,
tears and blood, for its perpetuation.
To-day we have united our voices
and hearts in a beautiful prayer of
the Grand Army ritual, thanking
God that the "anger of the oannon
no longer burdens the air; that the
gleam of the sabre and bayonet no
longer blinds our eyes; that the pas
sion of war is stilled, and. that mercy
ministers to those who have submit
ted to the authority of the nation;"
and we have prayed that we may bo
able to give to those lately in arms
against us, "a soldier's pardon, not
forgetting the wrong that was done
ill the charity we accord." No, we
cannot forget the wrong that was
done, but a soldier's pardon to a de
feated enemy permits no crimination
or recrimination. "The charity
we accord" extends tho hand of fel
lowship to those who have submitted
to our nation's authority. Glad are
we "that tho passion of war is stilled."
So glad aro we that wo would not
again awaken it by endeavoring to
arouse sectional animosities.
Whilo as yet war devastated the
land and the sound of cannon was
ringing in his ears, Lincoln, our
greatest, our most loved president, in
his second inaugural address, gave
utterance to that noble and enno
bling sentiment, "with malice toward
none, with charity for all, with firm
ness in tho right ns God gives us to
see the right, let ua strive on to finish
tho work we are. in;, to bind up the
nation's weuudn: to care for him who
shall have borno tho battle, and for
uis widow aud For his orphans; to do
all which may achieve and cherish n
just and lasting peace nmoug our
selves and with all nations.''
"It was for a Union purged of chat
tel slavery that the war was waged,
on the part of our -armies; and since
that Union depends for its existence
upon the intelligent, virtuous, volun
tary and patriotic unity of the people,
that which tends todivide-onr people,
or to perpetuate division and strife,
tends to rob our soldiers and this na
tion of tho fruits. of their glorious
and hard -won victory. It is for us
to cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves and-with all nations
and to bind up tho Nation's wounds."
This wo may beat do in the spirit of
the sentiment, wilh malico toward
none, with, charity "for all, with firm
ness in the right as God gives us to
see the right. Let us rejoice in every
token of good feeling between tho
north aud the south. We roioiced
that tho leading generals of the south
ern army and those of the northern
army could clasp hands over tho mor
tal remains of our great commander,
Gen. Grant, and together drop sym
pathetic tears with his bereaved ones,
ns citizens of one country. We re
joice that the union has been so far
cemented in the hearts of the people
that to-day, in southern countries the
same loving hands have scattered
flowers on the graves of those that
wore the blue and the gray alike.
Let there be uo emulation or strife
among us save that, noble emula
tion wuo can oeat serve our
great commonwealth ond so shall
we achieve and cherish a just
and lasting peaco among our
selves. In closing, our thoughts re
turn to the dead and with the poet
we say:
'Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
Oh the field of the grounded Praia,
Where foes no more molest,
Nor sentry's shot alarms
Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the cannon's roar,
Or the drum's redoubling beat
.due in mis camp ot death k
No sound your slumber breaks; r V
Here is no fevered breath,- 1
.No wound that bleeds and aches
All is repose and peace,
Untrompled lies tho sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
It is the truce of God , t - t
Your silent tent3 of green L 5
We deck with fragrant flowers; V
Yours has the suffering been
me memory snail be orrs."
