(By Fred Phillips, of the Times-New- remembrance of those who have crossed the loving INRiver of Jordan, and of the brave heroes who lost their lives in the great struggle for the world's redemption, Memorial Day was fittingly observed in Nephi yesterdav. A large throng attended appropriate services held at the Tabernacle, where patriotic speeches were delivered by fluent speakers, and prayers offered by religious leaders. The assemblage then repaired to the cemetery, where beautiful flowers were tenderly placed upon the' pacred mounds of loved ones whose souls dwell in that realm where the rainbow never fades and the stars are spread slumber on the ocean. out before them like the islands tht W (,) f CALLED BY DEATH it) v 1 uovernmeni issues uraei s c) Requiring Registration June 17th to 26th, At Post Office. w 5- - f 0 MEMORIAL DAY FITTINGLY OBSERVED REGISTER HERE Popular Young Man Answers Final Summons After Long Illness.

Enemies residing in Nephi & , ng on aio ; Last Saturday afternoon witnessed the departure of Juab County's last contingent. Overhead the sun shone in all its glory and cast its bright effulgence over the scene of patriotic activity being enacted in this beautiful little Utah city, Alonk its main thoroughfare a vast assemblage had gathered to bid farewell to our soldier boys. In the company was a brother, husband, son, lover, or friend, and Hearts once happy and young and gay, realized the uncertainty of the future, and dreaded the separation from those whom they loved. Suddenly the band began to play, and as the sweet strains rose and fell in the cadences of a popular air, a great wave of expectancy overswept the large concourse. Again the Ladies' Dellu Band rendered a beautiful selection of universal popularity, and the appreciative audience responded with hearty encore and injected one hundred per cent Americanism into the demonstration. With military carriage the musical organization moved forward, followed by those summoned to the colors, and To the depot the procession proceeded relatives and friends. and there the soldier boys mounted the iron horse that would transport them to their destination in the north, where many other brave sons of Juab would welcome their new comrades in arms. cheer-wer-e After hasty farewells were exchanged, and offered, and the strains of inspiring music echoed and reechoed in the distance, the boys departed on their journey, the end of which may be "over there." Out of bitter experience sweetness may be drawn. Death has bea busy among our loved ones as never before. Mutilation more cruel than death in many cases, has wrecked the fair prosHalls of pleasure are turned into pects of ardent natures. hospitals; beautiful demesnes resound with moans of wounded warriors, which mock the lark's song and the peewit's musical note. All the deep springs of our consciousness are agitated, and our sensitive nerves respond more fully than of yore to the electric waves of sympathy that sweep over the land. How we scan the Roll of Honor in trembling apprehension, lest some dear familiar name should be there. The superficial comforts and inconveniences of life dwindle into nothingness in contrast to the vital interests and affections now imperilled. The spirit summons the flesh to a great trial of strength under an unparalleled strain, and the real greatness of the human in all its varieties and the vastness v of its resources become manifest. When we think of Paris, it 13 difficult to picture the sorrowful scenes witnessed almost daily in that beautiful city, and we "hope that the influence of home will protect the boys from Zion's fair land and that they may profit from the following experience of one who escaped the "yoke" through the power of America's most cherished song, "Home, Sweet Home." There is music in the word "Home." To the old it is a bewitching strain from the harp of memory, To the young it is all that is near and dear to them. Among the many songs to which we are wont to listen, there is not one more cherished than the touching melody of Home, Sweet Home." I will go back a few years, in the history of the past, and traverse, in imagination, the gay streets and gilded cafes of Paris, that once bright center of the world's follies and pleasures. Standing in one of its brilliantly illuminated cabarets ia one, an American, who ha3 left home and loved ones to view, the splendors of the French metropolis. He had beheld, with delight, its paintings, its sculpture, and the grand yet graceful proportions of its buildings. Yet, in the midst of his keenest happiness, when he was rejoicing most over the many privileges he possessed, temptation was presented in its most bewitching garb. He drank wildly and deeply of the intoxicating cup, and with the draught came mad ness. Rushing from the place, his scruples overcome, and con tinuinghis mad flight beyond the outskirts of the city, he, at length, halted. The cool night breeze lifted the damp locks from his heated brow, and swept with soothing touch, over his f lushed cheek. While standing in deep meditation, music from a distance reached his ear. hollowing in the direction the sound indicated, he soon distinguished the words and air. The song was well remembered. It was "Home, Sweet Home." wie voice ui some oweei cngnsn singer rose ana leil in the softjacadences of this beloved melody, he thought of his own sweet Home; or his gentle moher, who had guarded him during iniancy ana jaugnea at nis D&oy amies, ana whose eye beamed with pnde in her boy; or his .loving sisters, who trusted in his integrity; and he thought how little he deserved such confidenn. and what their sorrow would be could they have seen him an hour before. As the last sweet strains floated through the air, and nothing but the ceaseless murmer of a great city remained, reason once more asserted her right to control. Subdued and repentant, he retraced his steps, with no feeling of shame over the manly tears that fell as bright evidence of the power of song. The demon that dwells in wine had fled, and with the vow to never again drink of the draught that could so near bring madness was mingled a deep sense of gratitude to kind Providence for his The influence of home had escape from further degradation. protected him, though the seas rolled between. before returning to Lynndyl.

He had married sometime pre vious to Miss Taylor of Randlett Utah, having met her while teaching school in that place.
