a Psi union Memorial service 
was held at the First Baptist church 
Sunday, May 25. ‘There were pres- 
ent as guests, Allen Post, 67, G. A. 
R., Col. H. P. Woodbury Camp, Sons 
of Veterans, the Women’s Relief 
Corps and Troop 1, Manchester Boy 
Scouts. ‘The church was attractively 
decorated with American flags and 
bunting and flowers. The choir was 
assisted by Messrs. Carlton Brown 
and E. Allan Brown of Gloucester. 
Mrs. Alice Lee of Manchester sang 
with tender expression “The Plains 
of Peace.” ‘The choir rendered the 
patriotic anthem “The  Soldier’s 
Dream.” Rev. A. G. Warner an- 
nounced his text as Hebrews 2:10 and 
chose for his subject “The Captain 
of Their Salvation” and spoke in part 
as follows: 
The fallen Heroes of the Republic! 
How these words send a thrill through 
all hearts which are at all sensitive 
to the sentiments of valor, patriotism 
and manliness! On Friday next their 
known graves will be decorated with 
flowers as a token that they and their 
noble deeds are held in loving me.1- 
ory by a grateful people. And as 
long as the sentiments of patriotism, 
heroism and nobility of character are 
of value among men let their acts of 
valor, their patient sufferings, their 
heroic self-sacrifice be an example and 
an inspiration of worthy deeds and 
noble lives. Let us always recognize 
the fact that high above the carnage 
and strife in which you and the fallen 
heroes bore so important a part, was 
God who presides over the destinies 
of men and nations and who gave 
courage to your hearts and strength 
to your arms to win the great and 
priceless victory. 
But even while we forget not the 
God who was over all, we may re- 
member with gratitude the valor and 
the virtues of the heroes who fell in 
the cause of Union and Liberty. But 
what is a hero? In all languages this 
word or its equivalent is used to de- 
note something marked and conspicu- 
ous in the life and character of some 
men. Hence a hero is a man of dis- 
tinguished valor, intrepidity or enter- 
prise in danger, a prominent central 
figure in any remarkable action or 
event. Heroism is akin to manliness. 
For to act the part of a true man in 
all the duties and trying scenes of life 
is to exhibit the essential elements of 
the hero. ‘The men of our armies 
‘Ge 70 yFH Ert’}DwW[wwy 00 yy 7ye°e ge 77 '"TFBE8,:Qv_v’qy7yyq0 yw ~r—°v° e.>r 
and navies accomplished their mighty 
task with conspicuous courage, ability 
and nobility and are rightly eishtined 
in our hearts as the heroes of our 
time. J wish to show there are the 
same elements in all true heroism and 
while not detracting from the vidtues 
of our fallen heroes but rather exalt- 
ing them in an illustrative way, I 
wish to point you to Christ the Great 
Hero. 
There is a martial element in Chris- 
tianity and Christ, the founder, is a 
Prince and Captain, a Mighty King 
and conqueror. He is the Hero of the 
centuries and His sublime heroism 
will be more manifest as the centur- 
ies roll by. In order that there may 
be the exhibition of heroism there

must be the opportunity. There may 
be the elements of heroism but they 
are unknown to the world and even 
to the man himself, unless the oppor- 
tunity for their manifestation is giv- 
en. But the man and the opportunity 
make the hero. 
The Civil War, cruel and terrible 
as it was, furnished a grand oppor- 
tunity for the men of this nation to 
show of what stuff they were made. 
War is at best an evil, calling forth 
base and ignoble passions and draw- 
ing after it a long train of sad re- 
sults. But it is not always our unmix- 
ed evil. It does call into exercise 
some of the most heroic and self-sacri- 
ficing virtues of which man is capa-

Non-skid Tires 
We candidly believe that if every 
motorist in the city were to equip his 
car with either one of these famous 
United 
States Tires 
he would get more mileage for the 
money invested and better skidding 
protection than he possibly could 
get from any other tires—and we 
know them all.
