Many speak, often, of his sympathy and kindness during those awful days. When news of the Armistice reached Springfield all the city celebrated the joyful news, with every noise-making device human ingenuity could contrive.

The press commented on the beauty and appropriateness of the reverent attitude of this little band of worshippers and their leader.--S. H. F.
