Memorial Sunday Services

St. Thomas' church could not contain the great mass of people who crowded there Sunday morning to witness the services of Memorial Sunday. The front part of the church was well filled with the G. A. R., the Woman's Belief Corps, the Sons of Veterans and the Ann Arbor Light Infantry. The service was a most interesting one. McClellan's mass, given for the first time on Easter Sunday, was repeated with strengthened chorus and orchestra. Altogether, it was a very enjoyable service for the old soldiers and also the younger ones. Fatlier Kelly's sermón was a fine effort and was well appreciated by all. Bis subject was "The Love of Brotherhood Effected only by Christianity." Following is a brief synopsis of the sermon : The qualities which make for fratevnity are the sharing of heart, labor and possessione. But as these qualities were unheard of in pagan, and, even now, are unknown araong unchristian peoples, fraternitv becomes theaitage of the teaching of Jesus Christ. At different times did Christ return to the sentiinents of fraternity, when he said "love one another, by this shall all men know you are my disciples if ye love one another;" "whosoever vill be greater among you let him be the least;" "blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom of heaven is theirs." Destitute of these sentimcnts man saw no reason to love bis fellow man. Under the christian dispensation he kuows that his brother has in hifi soul the image and likeness of bis Maker. However repulsive he may be, be becomes nevertheless the object of love. Thus is the greatest barrier to unity and fraternity destroyed.
