Memorial Day!
It is a day for the nation to stop, absolutely, and remember.
Why? There must have been crepe on half the homes of the world
in the last half cenVury. Crepe for the early dead above whose
duft taps have sounded and who are waiting on the other side
for their comrades. Half the homes of the United States have
been desolated. Let us give to these homes and their dead a (lower
and a thought; nay, tears will well become young as well as the
oldest when we recall what each of these dead represents to us
a land saved, redeemed a world rescued, for humanity's sake.
Memorial day is a principle, not a sentiment. "Do this in re
membrance of Me, as oft as ye do it," commanded the Christ.
"As He died to make men holy,
So these died to make men free," and it is our Christian n -?
well as patriotic duty to "drink the cup" at the shrine of our im
mortal dead of all wars.
This Bank will be Closed all Day Monday, May 31st, in
Silent Tribute to those who made the Supreme Sacrifice.
