Qak Park Cemetery Résembles a Military Flower Garden Blooming 'With Flowers and Flags

A nation wept Monday while the skies shed silent tears on Memorial Day. . During the early morning it was feared that the celebration in Ligonier would have to be 'ahandon:ed,:j, on account of rain but about noon the skies cleared and the sun came out, permitting the exercises as fixed in the program. - The column formed in front of G.

K. church for continuation of the program which was as follows: Song : | Reading—Miss Margaret Lake | Address—By Hon. John Hanan. | America—Community { Benediction—Rev. Anderson. | ‘John W. Hanan of LaGrange in i masterly address at the church declared that Decoration Day calls for the finest expression of citizenship. He pointed out that the real defenses of a nation are its spiritual forces. “As the world is to some degree we must have physical defenses. But we shall make a sorry mess of things if #e depend chiefly on them. More is to be expected of good will of the manifestation of kindness of the reach-, ing out in sympathetic encouragement “Up to the present nations have been unwilling to seriously put their trust in spiritual forces. They have clug to pagan idea of the strong arm. Humanity is waiting for the country that will give Christianity a tryout in international relations.” Other numbers on the program were equally impressive. . Oak Park Cemetery was made t 0 bloom with flowers and ° flags 'the grass being beautifully decorated. Flags floated in the breeze at half mast the length of Cavin street in the business district and many automobiles carried the national colors: ‘The celebration was up to standard.
