FOR THE LIVING

Decoration Day has been set apart
from all other days of the year in
which to honor and keep green the
memory of the dead. II is a splen-

tered more and more; not for the
good it may do the dead, but for the
good it may do the living. With
those that may put themselves out
possibly walk through storm and
mud TO lay a flower upon the grave
of one departed, it may be that just
a little more of the milk of human
kindness may be developed, and that
the living may benefit from the mem
ory Of the dead,
There is much genuinely. and
noble sentiment about the Decora-
tion day services. There is also
much that seems inconsistent All
