REPUBLIC'S HEAD HONORS HEROES President Arrives in Gotham on Mayflower to Attend Funeral Ceremony. 5,000 WAR DEAD IN THE CITY Exscutive and Party Attend Services In Honor of Dead Yanks Before Bodies Are Shipped to Their Former Homes. New York, May - 25. —fit must not be Bgilifl.” With these solemn words President Harding laid a wreath on the coffin of the first ‘American soldier to die on German soil, at a, funeral ceremony for 5,000 war dead at the army piers in Hoboken, following his arrival here on the yacht Mayflower. Hisvoice husky and his eyes brimmed with tears, the President gazed at the rows upon rows of coffins. Then lie said: “One hundred thousand sorrows are , touching mv heart. It must not. be again. God-grant that it will not lie. nial days have come and that there will be no more war. 1 would wish a nation so powerful that none will dare to provoke its wrath.” -Then in the great army shed on the shores of the Hudson, wltli its stark, whitewashed wails, there fell a Silence" profound and deep. Mrs: Harding could be seen weeping softly as sKe —looked upon .the Hag-draped coffins. The President continued: "There grows on me the realization of the unusual character of this occasion. Our republic has been at war before; mats asTseir"ihirfeceiveiT the ’ VUIJffiJKU!' * sfiifflESßFTgT TfiT - sons™ an'dT daughters, and faith in America lias been' justified. Many sons and daughters made the sublime offering and Went'to hallowed graves as the nation's defenders. But we never be- : fore sent so many to battle under the flag in foreign Innds, never before was there the Impressive spectacle of thousands of (lead returned to find eternal resting place in the beloved homeland. The incident is without any parallel in history that I know. “These- dead know nothing of our ceremony today. They sense nothing of the sentiment or the tenderness which brings their wasted bodies to the homeland for burial, close to kin and friends 'affci cherished associations. These poor bodies are but the clay tenements once possessed of gouls which flanie’d in patriotic .devotion, lighted new hopes on the battle grounds of civilization arid in their sacrifices sped on to accuse autocracy before the court of eternal justice. “We are not met for them, though we love and honor and speak a grateful tribute. If would be futile to speak to those who fftrtror hear, nr tft'sbf-' row for those who cannot se/ise it, or to exalt those who cannot know. But we can speak for country, we can reach those who sorrowed and sacrificed through tiieir service, who suffered through their giving, who glory with the republic through their heroic ■achievements, who rejoice in the civilization their heroism preserved. “Every funeral,—every, 'memorial, every tribute is for the living ones, an offering'in compensation of sorrows. When the -light of life goes out there is anew radiance in eternity, and somehow the glow of it relieves the darkness which is left behind, “Never a death ‘but somewhere a new life, never a sacrifice but somewhere an atonement, never a service ■but somewhere and somehow an achievement." In placing the wreath on the casket, the President said: stow this tribute on the casket of the first soldier who perished on the soil of the enemy. This opportunity is not chosen to express the suggestion of hatred in the American heart, for there is no hatred in the American heart, but I have chosen it because I am offering the tribute to one returned whose death on enemy soil marked the day when our civilization went face-forward and'when assault on our present-day civilization knew it had failed. May 24, 1918, is the date on which this soldier was killed and the name is that of Joseph W. Guyton. ' Company I, of the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Infantry, a resident patriot and hero of the state of Michigan, of the United States of America.’* After,the ceremony President Harding, accompanied by Mrs. Harding, several senators and their wives and army officials of high rank, returned to Manhattan to address the Academy of Political Science at. its luncheon in the Hotel Astor before reviewing the old.

In other words, she is seeking a navy as large as that of any other two nations, j This is indicated in Information j which has trickled circles : in Washington. The phut is expected to crystallize at the approaching.meetings of colonial premier* and officials ; of the home government in London. ' The colonial premiers have been discussing their share in the restored British navy since last winter, it is known here. How many capital ships each will build is something that cannot be determined at this time. It is agreed, however, that New Zealand, Canada and South Africa will build at least one. " —-Australia. qjcpord tHg- 40- present indications, will build more. This belief—is borne out by a statement by Premier Hughes, a—S&py of which reached Navy department circles. Premier Hughes deplored the fact that ’Australia has "not the navy "to which she is entitled.” He pointed out that the const line of Australia is three times as long asthat of the United States. Therefore navy officials here believe Premier Hughes is laying the foundation to contribute certainly more than one capital ship to the aggregate British navy and that she will inform "Hie London council she is ready to proceed with construction at once: It Is obvious, naval officials sav, that every capital ship Built ljy the colonies Is a capital ship for the nuvy at Plymouth, England. - • Tlie score of the present British program is four capital ships, equaling in size the largest of the American navy and surpassing them in armament by reason of equipment with 18-inch guns.

It w 7 as not a casewhere a nation chose God, but where “WffTiprPßSftsr ■herrraui'evit'wwiti*4te'bieitM-tw---hu,ts,. an inheritance in God, but -how infinitely more blessed to He God’s inheritance! No nation can haveIsrael’s unique place, but the nation w hicb today gives God His rightfulplace in its affairs shall be singularly blessed. America has been signally , blessed in the times when she lie- . knowledged God. ,In the recent awful -war When the national' congress set aside a day of prayer, God heard! the cry of His people and victory was” given to the allies. 11. A Nation’s Glory (Prov. 14:34). The only fame for which a nation may justly be prouil is righteousness, the rendering to all their dues. It Istlris that makes a nation strong and influential, A nation that counts its sacred covenants as “scraps of paper,” becomes an outcast among the nations and eventually goes downto ignominious defeat. The nation that has no righteousness us its standard lias” no right to exist. 111. Christian Citizenship (Rom. 13:1-10). . *T The believer in Christ is a citizenas wetDas a church member. Intelligent Ghrrsttans with allow loyalty twthe state as well as to the church. The failure to recognize this lias brought Christianity into disrepute in manyquarters. • ■ T.. The Christian’s obligation to the state (vv. 1-7). This obligation is upon all Christians. The reason this obligation is universal Is that civil government is ordained of Gothland the rulers are His representatives. Society coijld net exist without government. It is God’s purpose that man' should live under authority. To refuse obedience to civil authority 1s to resist God. Os course, tills does not mean that a Christian at tlie behest of tlie state should-do that which is mortally wrong; just as parental authority does not imply that the child is under obligation to do that which ismorally wrong at the command of parents; but it does demand submission as tlie law of the believer's life. This is the law of tlie believer’s life not only because God is tlie source of civil authority, tiut because It was ordained' for beneficient ends. The Christian' ■ frequently has need to call upon rulers for help and personal protection. (Acts 18:12-17; 19:35-41; 22:25). _ Laws were not made for the righteous, but for the lawless. (2) Tlie spirit-of such obedience (v. 5). It is to Ire conscientious, that is, it is to be regarded not merely asserving a good purpose, but morally right. (3) The nature of, this obedience(vv. 6,7). (a) Payment ol personal and property taxes. The citizens who enjoy the benefits of government aremorally bound to support it. (b) Payment of duty upon merchandise andi license fees. The business exchange between nations" must be regulated. For such regulations expense is incurred, for which benefits the citizens' ' should pay. (c) Veneration of magistrates. “Fear to wllom fear.” Thosewho fear God should venerate his represeutatlves, Y-.tit is, civil rulers, (d)“Honor to whom honor,” tliut is, honor’ *- of efivil servants because of the aiiuistryffbey perform. 2. The Christian’s obligation to hisfellow citizens (w. -8-10). This is summed up iu the word “love." Love is a perpetual obligation. The only debt that (slight to owe is that of love. This love forbids defrauding in matters of,property; it forbids going into debt where there is no reasonable certainty of being able to meet tlie obligation.; it forbids defrauding in matters of moral, purity. Where there is love, adultery cannot be committed : it forbids murder; it forbids stealing; it forbids coveting, for coveting means a desire for that which belongs to another; it forbids the working of any ill to one’s neighbor. p Joy in Sacrifice. We have wrongfully associated sacrifice with only pain and sorrow.. -There is- joy in It, Aesas went to the • cross gladly because of the joy of saving His people. , Mary found her greatest happiness in giving her ./ill to the M lister, You find your greatest happiness In providing ana caring for those whom you love.
