practical address along the line of
brotherly cooperation and helpfulness.
Don't watt" he said, until brother
dies and then lay flowers OF regret on
his bier. Take him by the hand in
life and help him over the rough places.
See that he wants for nothing that is
material for his comfort. Watch over
him in sickness; bring him the sweet
est Offering of all, the flowers Of broth
| erly love: carry sunshine into his sick
room; look in his 'buttery' and see If

food while father is on the sick list.

affliction, strengthen the suffering ones
and cause wife and children to bless
the day that papa Joined Division No.
T." Joseph Donohuc referred to this
death Of the father Of four members
Of the division, tho McGlynn brothers,
and asked for sympathy in their loss.
Their father is no more, but his teach

was a loyal Irishman, honest, fearless
and faithful to the last. His sons are
in the ranks Of the grand army Of Hi.
