services at the cemeteries where 84 
graves were decked in flowers, and 
with a patriotic entertainment in 
the hall in the evening, the day’s 
programme could not but leave a 
lasting impression on all who took 
part. 
The day was ideal as far as 
weather conditions were concerned. 
The sun was shining brightly, and 
nature bloomed forth brightly after 
the three days of rain preceding. It

was neither warm nor yet too cold, 
and the veterans were able to enjoy 
the day to the utmost. 
The address of the day was by 
Rev. Dillon Bronson of Brookline, 
a former Salem pastor, who paid a 
glowing tribute to the Grand Army 
of the Republic. The Schubert 
Male Quartette of Boston sang at 
the exercises in the Town hall and 
at the service at the vacant lot they 
sang “Old Glory.” 
Rev. Mr. Bronson said in part: 
“Once again we enter upon holy 
week in our Nation’s calendar. 
Once again we go to God’s acre to 
lay our floral tribute above the dust 
of those who died for us. Once 
again we are reminded that the old 
soldiers are disappearing rapidly, 
and what we do for them must be 
done quickly. It is very meet - and 
right that all our people ‘should 
keep Memorial Day and recall the 
sacrifices of those who preferred 
death to disunion and dishonor. I 
would like to see the date changed 
to the last Sunday in May, that it 
might be a holy day instead of a 
holiday, and that the sports of un- 
thinking people might not cause 
so many to forget the original pur- 
pose of this sacred celebration. 
“We ought to take the children 
to the cemeteries this day and, 
showing them the little tents of 
green over which our dear flag 
waves, tell them what it means. 
We ought to remind them of the 
lavish and uncalculating offering of 
life on the part of our best American 
homes five and forty years ago; and 
we ought to tell them of the many 
brave fellows who sleep in unknown 
graves in the swamps of Virginia 
and the Carolinas. In the words of 
our eloquent friend Dr. Hillis: 
“ *To sound of fife and drum they 
marched away, these loved and loy- 
ing fathers, brothers, friends, soon 
to return again, they said, when we 
have freed God’s children and made 
our country one. But their good 
Father, God, planned better for 
them than they knew. Theirs the 
martyr’s death, theirs the patriot’s 
crown; striking chains from  fet-

tered slaves, God freed them from 
the fleshly bond. Seeking to keep 
their country one, God _ brought 
them to His eternal city, for they 
had fought a good fight, and though 
lost to sight, they still to men are 
dear. 
"Today \ thes -macics wanda. ot 
memory hath brought their names 
and iacess backs tosis, but their 
graves we never shall strew with 
sweet and silent tokens of cour 
grief. No man knoweth their sep- 
ulchre. Under scorching summer 
skies, overcome with heat, some 
fell naked and starving; some died 
in prisons damp and deadly; under 
smoking sulphurous clouds, that 
seemed to rain on their devoted 
heads, the hissing shot and_ shell 
most fell on bloody battlefields, now 
hallowed by their graves. And so 
we know where some do lie and 
some their final resting place we 
know not of. But who shall say 
that He who clothes His lilies does: 
not mark soldiers’ graves?
