November l is, with US, in this Southern cline,
day set apart to the memory of our dead The fall
ing leaves of Autumn, like the passing away of life
leave behind them others that are fresh and greer
and some that bear the tinted marks of final separa
ton. The season is emblematc of the day of com
memoration and DEVOTION and fills with the awe
inspiring mysteries Of the laws of nature and the
workings of God.
The strewing of flowers upon the graves of oul
dead not only speak of the loving memory in which
they are held but touch the mind with atindetnite
feeling that death is not death, but everlasting
life that we understandeth not, and we ntultlVelJ
feel that floral offerings accepted by an IN
visible life that still knows and appreciates.
It is pretty CUSTOM this decoration of the graves
of the dead and reminds that should so live thai
the life to come will be strewn with flowers, anc
made bright with the memories of the past and the
rewards of the future
