WEDNESDAY, MAY 30,1928. THE IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE; IRONWOOD, MICH. That is What Memorial Day Means to This Country, Says Speaker. Memorial clay is a living witness to the unquestionable fires of patriotism--or" serviceable lovo to our country which spreads over time but which cannot diminish, said tho RDV, Harry Ruth, pastor of St, Andrew's church at Ashland, the speaker at tho Memorial day exercises hero today. "Contacts within tho limits ot our experience usually arouse our Interest," said tho Rev.

Mr, Ruth "And sometimes those grip us lightly This morning, Memorial clay, many will go to the lake for a holiday or use an extra day from work to putter around tho house nncS garden. Neighbors taking flowers to the cemetery to decorate graves, newspaper Hems forecasting Memorial day plans, by veterans organizations suggest that Memorial day Is a contact, What Sort of "But what sort of contact. Well, for those who wish to keep It we have a holiday Those who wish to dress up in military uniform, piiracle, and show that they have been to war, may do so to their hearts content. If they enjoy that, why deter them? This is America a free country, and why should they not? But as for mo, why should I --I dioad the thought ot the dead --detach myselt as much as possible from (i cemetery? And furthermore, I want to forgot about "Afialn say Unit contacts within the limits of our experience usuallv arouse our Interest, Memorial day Is a matter of experience, And what an experience it is! It Is a peculiar retrogression as well as a progression. Men are suddenly carried back to the days ot' '61, and '67, '98, 1017 and 1018 They become Inarticulate.

They feel fiom actual knowing but they cannot express what they feel or know. Those days are theirs alone--days never to be experienced again. They Could Not "Polks say that when they came back from the war they did not talk about their experiences, Tlvjy could not, for those experiences belong to memory, not to talking To talk about them would spoil them--detract from them--and so as In the past they must do something and they keep Memorial day. The cynic may note tho decorated graves, and hear the bnnd and see tho marchers In i but that Is all he tecs and he sneers--'Well, It Is nil right for those who like that stuff, 1 "But tho men and women who sire Intent on keeping Memorial day pro bound by a bond. The various wars may bo commemorated by the veterans of each as they survive, but on this Memorial day the threads all woven together arc shown as a beautiful cloth of mo- mory.

Tho common bond of mutual service Is i on Memorial clay. A common pulse throbs In the hearts of a wide range of ages, and tho current of comradeship thrills tho past and the present Memorial clay l.s a living witness to tho unquenchable (Ires of patriotism--of serviceable lovo to our country which spreads over time but which time cannot diminish. It Is a common Interest felt--Inarticulate--too hard to express more than In 'ccp- InK Memorial Day And It mnarn s.0 much to them--It means so much to America.
