Lessons of Memorial DaY.

Memorial day has played a larger
share than many of us realize in our
national life. In no country on the
globe is a day so entirely devoted to
the memory of its heroes, so generally
observed throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The day itself is
well chosen when the spring offers its
choicest blossoms in profusion and
nature presents its loveliest aspect
II is a day culled from the period
when life is at Its best to do honor
to those who being dead. yet live."
What a lesson II Is to the child, so

little ones in school. in honor of the
day. and to realize that II is thus good
