memory.
Memorial Greetings to All was
read by Mrs. David Laughlin as fol-
lows: The ASS0c1ati0n kindly thanks
everyone who has helped us in word
or deed. When we read the examples
given us in early history we feel it
almost command. Do we remem-
ber when Isaac, Jacob and Joseph
died, they were carried great dis
tance on mems shoulders to be laid
to rest with their fathers? Then we
read in Luke, oath chapter, when the
Savior was laid to rest, the first day
of the week, early in the morning
while it was yet dark his friends came
to care for his remains. They did not
wait for some convenient time or with
empty hands, but with spices and
sweet smelling ointment. This is
beautiful example for US, so we come
with the pure and beautiful flowers.
Dame Nature planted them lavishly
for our good. God gave them to the
world, roses red for affection, also
pure and white as the driffed SHOWS,
and we feel like saying, Shine softly
stars above the graves where these
dear sleepers lay Sunshine, song
and flowers, green woods and wav-
ing trees. Seemingly they come
from an ocean whose rim no foot
hath trod, some of US call it longing,
some of us call it God"
