Dr. Curnick Preached Patriotic Sermon at Sunday Service.

Dr. Cumick, who made a trip to Fort Benjamin Harrison last week and visited the members of Company M, used his trip as the text of his patriotic sermon at the Methodist church Sunday. 1 In his sermon Dr. Chmick spoke of his visit to the camp and paid a high tribute to our soldier boys, and complimented them highly because every man in the company was brave enough to take the new federal oath and to become a United States soldier. Dr. Cumick stated that our boys are a lot of brave, loyal and true men and' if they should see active service in Mexico they will reflect credit and honor upon Rensselaer. Dr. Cumick further stated that our flag stands for liberty, equality, justice and righteousness, and that the United States of America are the greatest, wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth and while we are not afraid of any nation, yet we desire peace and good will toward all nations. The glory of Old Glory is to make our country in reality a free, noble and Christian country. If we go to war with Mexico, the end will find a united nation whose people are patriotic, self-sacrificing and loyal, said Dr. Cumick in conclusion.
