Benediction by Rey. Yames. "Tars." Following is an article stating the origin and purpose of Memorial Day which was instituted May 30, 1868. The organization known as the rand Army of the Republic is com posed of the veteran soldiers, sailors and marines who carried the flag of the republic during the great rebel lion, of 1861-65. This unique and patriotic association of the loyal sol djers of the matlon came into being in 1866. It spread rapidly through out the norttern states and by 1868 it had achieved a nation-wide body with national headquarters at the national capltol, having department organizations embracing posts in cities and towns and membership of several hundred thousand. Its funda mental object was expressed in three words: "Fraternity, Charity.- Loyalty." In 1868 Gen. Join A Logan, who (typified the highest example of the volunteer soldier, was commander-in-chief and I was adjutant general of this splendid organization. , I will not now trace its growth and Influence upon the national life during the half century it has been the nation's great sctool of patriotism. Its mem bership is rapidly yielding to the ravages of time and old age, and wilt iu a few years cease to exist. But ita spirit survives and will in the un charted future of our beloved country continue-to shed its inspiring Jn.

Upon read ing this letter there seemed to me I? Up a tunity through our organization to institute u.u u..6nl grow into ' J T P l adVaDCe !S g ?JfctB- and at the Bama be " of perpetual- lades- Movd by the thought which had order at once. My object was to have the cere atonies come in a spring month, but. to postpone.it to a date which would give opportunity for flowers to ma nure. The 31st of May that year fell upon Sunday, and so I named May 30. This is the true and only reason for having named May 30 as the date to be observed. The order was given to Tie As sociated Fress, and was sent to all parts of the country as rapidly as (Continued on page four)
