diers on the Goth instant Is In the hands OF the
children Of the two Sabbath schools Committees
have been appointed and the graves will be re-
membered on the morning OF Decoration Day.
Speaking Is expected, which will probably take
place in one OF the churches, and since the chill
dren are to be the chief workers, the graves Of
their mates who have died during the past year
TO be decorated also. In giving notice Of these
proposed ceremonies on Sunday, Rev. Mr..

that aside from the particular remembrance OF
soldiers and Sabbath-school children, friends
should remember the graves OF their loved ones

| day, to the advantage OF all. II. NJ Bruce Is
