MEMORIAL DAY ADDRESS He following is the Memorial Day address delivered before thfc members of the G. A. R- at the patriotic services at tbe Church of the Advent cn Sunday, • May 28,^916, by Rev. Paul Sturtevant Howe, M. A., L. L. B. "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." — Fifth Commandment. Fifty-one years ago, on Friday of this past week, the <SvH War came to an end with the surrender of the last Confederate Army in the field, the surrender by Gen. Kirby Smith of the Confederate Amy of the Trans -Missii udppL I am tempted to review that mighty struggle beginning at the bombardment of Fort Sumter, April 12, 1861, Little Bethel, the first) battle of Bull Run, 9Rls Bluff, Fort Henry, Fort Donaleon, Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Fair Oaks, The Seven 1 Days Battles, the second Battle of Bnll ' Bun, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancel - lorsville, the great battle of Gettysburg, j the surrender of Vicksburg, the fall of . Port Hudson, Perryville, Murfreesboro, the bloody battle of Chickamauga, Chattanooga, the storming of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, the defeat ' At Sabine Cross Roads, the campaign of the wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold ' Harbor, the Shenandoah Valley, Cedar ' Creelc, Sherman's March to the sea, Nash- ' ville. Five Forks, the Evacuation of ( Petersburg and Richmond, the snrrend- 1 •r of Gen. Lee at Appomattox Court 1 House, April 9, 1865, the surrender of ' Gen. Johnston April 26, the surrender of j Gea. Taylor of the Oonfederatf forces in Alabama to General Canby, May 4th, the last fight of the' war on the Rio 1 Grande, May 13th, and the surrender on 1 May 26th by Gen. Kirby Smith of the ° last Confederate Army in the field, the army of the Trans-Mississippi b How shadowy and unreal all this is v

to us of a younger generation, and how real this is to you. The opening words of Daniel Webster's famous address, made at Bunker Hill monument, in the presence of veterans of the Revolution come to my mind: "Venerable men! you have come down to us from a former generation." The corner stone of the great monument was laid in 1825 in the presence of many veterans of the Revolution. The monument was completed and dedicated 18 years later in 1643. On both occasions, at, the laying of the corner stone, and at the dedication, Webster made the • address, and tare know from the records of the Adjutant General and pension officers that a considerable number of veterans of the Revolution were still living in 1843. Yet strange to say, there was not a single organization among the veterans of the Revolution for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of the enlisted -man. The Society of Cincinnati was founded in 1783 by commissioned officers of Revolution. It is a society to perpetuate , the memories pf the Revolution and especially the commissioned officers of , the Revolution. The Society of the Sons of the Revolution founded in 1676 was 100 years too late— what a loss— ' what a misfortune. There is no complete list of those who ' fought at Lexington or Bunker Hill, and ' this is true of tfie whole period of the Revolution. For each day at Valley ! Forge we know the officer of the day and the published orders of the day. 1 We know the routine of camp life, the rations served, the extra rations when ' good news reached them, the surgeon's l daily report, the reprimands which show - that .it was not all heroic. But the sol- ' dier. tbe enlisted man, we Know little oT J him, ho complete rolls have been kept. Of' those who fought in the Revolution the greater number lie in unmarked, un- ] known graves. The boy who was fired ! by enthusiasm and joined the mRitia ' j <°is MMB *hai became of him ! In one case be ferved the ■ greater part of five years in the Revolution and died at a comparatively early age because of wounds received in the defence of bis country. There is no mark on his

| grave to show that he was a soldier. Hi6 I grave like thousands in many cemeteries is in utter neglect because there was no society in the early days to perpetuate'tbe memory of^tbe soldiers of the Revolution. [ •> I congratulate you, survivors of the Civil war, that you have a nation wide . organization in the Grand Army of the . Republic; that the memory of your dead comrades is not forgotten, that their "'graves are not neglected, that they re- I ceived what the old records call "hon- | orable burial." The first account of honorable burial is in Bradford's History • in the description of the Burial of Gov. I Carver, April 1st, 1621. "He was buried I in ye beet manner they could, with vol- 1 leys of shott by all that bore arms." I And Secretary Xathl. Morton and the historians following interpreted the salute over the grave in the words "honorable burial." I congratulate you that as your ranks become thinner and the time approaches when each must answer the roll . call j when

r for the last time, your descendants in ' ■" your lifetime have formed an organi- i h ration for the purpose of perpetuating' r your memory. 1 am especially inter- ' , ested in the organizations, the Sons of p Veterans. "Honor thy father and thy 1 t -mother." He commandment Is tp Israel 1 » as a whole. Respect the ancient insti- . tutions, honor the institutions founded , j by thy father and thy mother, then the e nation wili survive and become strong, ! j in the land which the Lord thy God j . giveth thee. , He integrity of our nation is due to I • you, venterans of the Civil war. The I abolition of slavery was. inevitable but . i the less on bad to be learqpd that the ■ r Union is one, and forever indissoluble. | To you we owe the preservation of the . Union and the greatness of Amqpica as ! a nation. And this leads me to the subi ject I have chiefly in mind this mornf ing; the subject of Preparedness. For preparedness means this: that we are determined that your work shall • not be undone. Preparendesg does not mean that we ' are eager for a fight. Gen. Leonard ' Wood has again and again made that clear to us. , ^ "Armaments tfor defense — subordinat- 1 1 ed ae they alwkys must be under our . form of government to the civil power — are not the promoters of militarism, but _ a bulwark for the maintenance of the reign of law and of justice, and for thf security of all those ideals which consti- . tuie the elements of enlighteded mid progressive civilization. Here are two conflicting ideals in our country regarding preparedness. One is h an affront to your ears and I read it b with an apology, but H is from a leading paper of the state of the great commoner, the great pacifist, and the great talker on the Chautauqua circuit. "A prominent citizen (of Kansas) in reply to the remark that out in this State the rural sentiment against war ia so universal and intense that it would favor accepting any insolence or injury to national "honor" or "prestige," short of actual invasion by an enemy in arms. I in preference to a declaration of war, remarked: "Well, isn't that the way everybody feels and acts in his own business! What business maw would involve bis business in a destructive war because a competitor failed to treat \ him with honor and dignity." . I do .not believe this sordid view repS resents the feeling of ^4fj*tion and I am glad to quote irthmAjH/ftieaU, of May 24, signed by war ffimdred distinguished citizens of Yerk.

s tween America and other peacefully in- ■- dined nations for international action is a recommended. We protest that it is a groes injustice to the American people e to suppose that they are not willing, in case of necessity, to use all the means e in their possession to defend these ine ternational principles, and the, ideals ese tablished in this country, d You veterans of the Civil war fought r for a principle. You,did not wait for . the North to be invaded, you were not . content because in the North you were f J safe and secure from invasion. You y went to war because there is an eternal I difference between right and wrong, and you to4c the field in defence of the right, j ; I cannot believe America should be mi re » ly passive in the great world struggle s We cannot escape responsibility. Motives of expediency alone should lead us to ; | . prepare. What if the mailed and aver- j i icious hand of the Hun reached out !i ^ across the Atlantic T What then? Are | we prepared! !
