Patriotic Address.
Patriotism, the spirit of sacrifice,
and love were the principle factors'
discussed by Dr. S. Hall Young in,
his address cn "The High Ideals of
Memorial Day — the Holiest and
Sweetest of National Holidays," tit!
the Elks’ Hall.
Taking each in part he said:!
“The first of the high Ideals of
Memorial Day is Patroitism. the love
of country. Next to the love of!
God It is the holiest expression of
human emotion.
"Second: The Spirit of Sacrifice.
The wars of the United States have
been altruistic. They were fought
not for aggrandizement or acquisi
tion of land or wealth. They were
waged for the sake of others. The
war for the Union was for the right1
of all mankind to freedom and hap
piness. The Spanish-Ameriean war
was for the purpose of rescuing from,
oppression and slavery a weak na
tion that could not work out its own
salvation. Our entrance into the I
World War was not chiefly for relf
protoction, it was for humanity's
sake to rescue and protect amt build
trp helpless people. We commemor
ate today glorious deeds of sacrifice
comparable only to the supreme
sacrifice of Christ for fallen man
kind.
Third Ideal.
"The third ideal of Memorial Day
Is love—love for our fellow men
This is one with the lx>ve of God j
The only acceptable worship is that!
which consists In or In spires to help,
of those who need help. 'Love seek-!
eth not her own.' Nothing that
smacks of self-seeking has a par.' !
In Memorial Day. The mart sacred i
fires that burn on Humanity's;
hearth are these, for they glow with i
human and divine love. The grave!
which of all the decorated graves of]
our Nation is piled highest with1
flowers today is t ltut of the uu-j
known soldier whose bedy was
brought from the bloody Helds o.f
France and placed in a costly
sepulchre on the most beautiful rite
of the National Cemetery in Wash
ington City. He died that others
might live. 'Greater love hath no
man than this; that a man lay
down his life for his friends.' ”
Dr. Young closed his address with
the recitation of Leigh Hunt's beau
tiful poem, "Abou Ben Adhem."
Lived Through Three Wars.
Dr. Young has lived through three
great wars of this nation. He was!
born while the Mexican War was!
being fought. When the Civil War,
broke out he was 14 years of age.
Four of his brothers were in tre!
Union Army, three of them having
been wounded. All became mom-1
bers of the G. A. R. lie had many i
relatives in that war, most of thenn
in the Northern Army but a inim-'
her were in the Southern. Hls|
recollections are vivid of that time
of national strife and stress. Dur
ing the World War he was active in
giving his aid to this country:
through various channels. Thus his
experience runs through three great1
wars In which the United States
participated.
At 2:45 o'clock, following the!
program, the parade was formed in!
front of the Hall. The rain had
stopped to give way to the blue sky:
and sunshine and nearly all the
spectators at the exercises parti
cipated in the march.
The parade was led by the band,
the order of march being as follows:
Squad of 28 men from the Unalga;
the colon, carried by M. L. Stepp,
two guards from the Unalga squad;
the tiring squad, of nine men from
the American Legion; members oJ
