White, (Mr. White went into the

AS the war era recedes, the OPP.
pressivc sadness which marked the
earlier Memorial Days lifts to the form
OF a glorified sntiment, and those who
were for years lamented as martyrs
are celebrated as heroes. Such a
change Of feeling, even among those
most nearly bereaved by the cruelties
Of war, was inevitable. 1t is not al
lowed us to mourn all the day long,
when they whom we lament possessed
living qualities that have superior
CLAIMS on our attention. So that
while the oldeu mem cries are none
the less deep if they are not now so
poignant, we approach the graves of
our heroes with q grateful reverence
that has all the elements of a healthy
feeling, and s,row them with the
freshest blossoms Of Spring in token,
not of our loss, but their Immortality
Each added year will renew the old
grief in a more and more natural
form, until another generation will
come and perform this tenderest Of
flee for us without shadow of our
sorrow or pang of our slow-dying
passion.
