Memorial Day, a day each year set
apart, when the whole American people
pay tribute to our dead, is a day that
inspires us with interest and awe.
Death is never to be despised. There
are skeptics. When those near and
dear to us pass from "here on this bark
and shoal of time" to the rale realms
beyond, we pause and think. They are
gone. We deplore their loss, but our
grief is not unmixed with joy. In our
hope we humbly raise our hearts to the
bowed head on Calvary; aud, believing
in eternal life. await the promised
meeting in the home beyond the blue"
On Saturday, May 80, let us mingle
together; then, a little, communing in
our sorrow, ere we lay our wreaths,
dedicated to their virtues and services,
