 We hold reunions, not for the dead, for there is nothing in all the earth that you and I can do for the dead. They are past our help and past our praise. We add to them no glory-we can give to them no i'm mortality. They do not need us, but forever and forevermore we need them.-Jdmes 4. GarJfeld.
 Individuals may wear for time the glory of our institutions, but they carry it not to the grave with them Like raindrops from heaven they pass through the circle of the shining bow and add to it's lustre, but when they have sunk in the earth again the proud arch still spans the sky and shines gloriously on.-,Jdnaes 4.
