u-SECTION TWO PAGE TWO Interesting Memorial Service Observed Sunday Afternoon (Continued From Page One, Section One) Following the address a beau tiful wreath was placed at the foot of the Confederate monu ment by little Maison Hassell and Betty Dixon. The dedication prayer was of fered by the Rev. Ralph Fowlkes, pastor of the Edenton Methodist Church. Mr. Spires expressed his thanks and appreciation to all who had any part in planning and carrying out the delightful program and the affair came to an end by a three-gun salute with Taps sounded by Robert Powell, Jr. Mr. Napier’s address follows: “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” —John 15:13. The question so often asked concerning the celebration or rather commemoration of the War Between the States is: “Why do we hold such a com memoration?” The same can be said about Veterans Day and Memorial Day and July 4. We are not trying to revive old hat reds or old feelings concerning the division that occurred, but rather we are trying to point up •the fact that those who fought and died in those wars have left to us an heritage which we can not ignore. Theirs was the ne cessity of fighting for a principle and dying if need be that these they left behind might not have to do what they were doing. There is a question in my mind whether those people had any idea as to what their work would do toward making our world into what it has become, for I well remember that my work in service during World War II was not a hero’s work, and I had no idea of fighting to make America free, but to make myself free from the bondage of restriction placed upon me by the regimentation of Navy life. However, even with that feeling, I was in reality doing what was necessary to make America free and to keep for my son the free dom that we enjoy. Therefore, for all of us who have served and for those who have long since left this mortal scene, we were doing what was needed. That is the heritage we .need; the fact that we must do whai is needed of us to keep life go- AUTO Generator Service & Repairs Never can tell where a car will pick up a bad habit... or a good one.

The War Between the States was a tragedy just as any war is a tragedy. That is why we do not call this a celebration, for there is nothing to celebrate, but rather we come to commemorate and by so commemorating with I the nation united in such com memoration we are able to 'strengthen our nation through a mutual understanding, the un derstanding that there was dedi cation and devotion to principle on the part of men from the North and men from the South. They were fighting for what they deemed to be truth. In so far as we here in Cho wan County are concerned, we note that at Sandy Point and at Wingfield there were fought two of the major battles of the War Between the States. Many of our own ancestors were involved more closely than we care to realize. From this county went out men to fight all over the South, some to fall in battle and many to return maimed and broken for life which was not too pleasant immediately follow ing the war. If we would only take a close and sincere look at ourselves we would discover that we are just now recovering from that event in the history of our county and there are many of us who still cling to traditions and ideas that were prevalent at that time. Because our grandparents did it in such away, we still feel that it is alright to do it that way now. In being com pletely honest we must admit that we are not really a hundred years away from those times in which the War Between the States was fought, but we are merely around the corner from them. This is not to condemn, but to point up the fact that no matter how long ago it hap pened we are still clinging to the underlying principles which * Notice Os Sale Os Property For Delinquent 1960 Taxes By order of the Town Council, ihe undersigned will, on Mon day, June 12, 1961, at 12 o'clock noon, at the Court House door, offer for sale to the highest bidder all property on which the 1960 taxes have not been paid.

That is what wars have done for us in the past; they have helped us to came to know that we are responsible to each other for survival and for the furthering of our beliefs. Those who have died'! during battle and those who have come home to live .and die there, have gone in order that you and I might have the right to think as we please, to form our opinions concerning things, without help from any man living. By those wars that have now become a part of our history and heritage those people have given to us the opportunity to go on living for those things which we also feel asp right. It is eternally true that those who have perished or who have, died after war, are now butj memories, but their actions stand out as great deeds. We can now | look back on them and glory in 1 them, or we can look at what I they have accomplished by their f fight. If we persist in looking ; back at them we will find our- • selves living in a dead past, but | if we look at what their deaths . have meant to us, we will begin to move out to make sure that I never again can such a thing I happen to us in our world. We can prevent another war, but only as freedom loving Christian men and women we band together and pray and work for a lasting peace. Every where in this world today men are gathered together to plan for peace or for war as their minds turn. We do not need to meet together to plan for peace, but we need to learn to live together in peace, we need to recognize the rights of all individuals in work and play. We need to come to realize that “in Christ there is no east nor west, in Him no North nor South, but one great fellowship of love through out the whole wide world.” I would like to quote to you a ’few lines penned by General O’mar Bradley, a great general during World War II and a great statesman. He said, “It is easy for us who are living to honor the dead. Wars can be prevent T2S CHQWAIf HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THTTRBDAT. MAY 19, 1961, ed as well as provoked, and therefore, we who fail to pre vent them are as guilty as those who provoke them and we share in the guilt of the dead. Each soldier ever buried is partly the folly of you and me and the folly of all peace loving people in the world who turn their backs on the ills of the world. Today we have too many men of science and too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and ignored the Sermon on the Mount. Man is stumbling blindly through a spiritual dark ness while toying with the pre carious secrets of life and death. This world has achieved brilli ance without wisdom and power without conscience. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we do about living.” “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his i life for a friend.” Our freedom has been bought with the price |of much suffering and blood | letting, so let us come not to I celebrate such happenings but to j commemorate the fact that we i are a part of the great heritage • bequeathed to us by those who I have gone before.
