' " The object of these national holidays is to honor our country, which 13 wonderful in its greatness and blessings, to honor and praise our liberty and union, now and forever, opeand inseparable. Decoration day in a purely religious sense or in a purely civic sense. We in a religious sense and spirit. Decoration day breathes patriotism, is a supreme love for our country, to beautify the cemeteries, decorate the "heroes, soldiers that laid down their lives on the altar of patriotism. Who is the greatest hero and patriot that ever lived It is He who said: "Greater love than this no man hath, that a map lay down his life for his friends." Jesus Christ, the savior of all mankind, of all nations, tribes and countries. Every single country has its own heroes.

Such must be our patriotism Here ort earth. As Jesus honored his heavenly father for his greatness and blessings, so must we honor our glor ious country, supreme in all the world, for its greatness and blessings. As Jesus Christ honored and. praised the eternal liberty and union in heaven, so we must honor and praise our glorious country in the memorable [ words of Daniel Webster, "Our lib- j erty and union, now and forever, one 1 and inseparable." This indeed is true J patriotism. • ADDITIONAL PERSONAL Mike Zenk of Elgin was a week end visitor in the home of his brother, Wm. Zenk, and family south of town. Dr. and Mrs. Harry A.
