Memorial Sermon.

The pastor, Rev. George H. Srouse, spoke earnestly saying in part:
 My friends in behalf of this church, U gladly welcome you here today trust this season of fellowship may prove mutually profitable. I shall be glad to know you better. I am ten tiH1eS more anxious you should know my Lord better "The Lord Is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep si- lent before Him." Mans highest hon. or is, that he is created in the image of his maker and the image is marked and scared. Mans highest privilege consists in this: He may have fellow ship with his maker. This is our privilege now.
 Sometime, sooner or later, God is going to call on every man for re- port. We are all inter-related in life If one member of the body is out of joint there is friction all along the line. 'fNo man hveth to himself; no man dieth to himself" Not a single man on earth ever escapes Gods no- tice. Life is very short, The supreme aim ought to be to make good while living on this earth.
 This present moment is yours and mine. We are not absolutely certain tomorrow is going to be ours. If ] understand the meaning of these wreaths, a year ago there were some men with you, who are not with you now. Without a doubt a year hence there are some men here today who will not be with you then. Any man ought to be ashamed to die until he has digged out the road or removed stone from the pathway of life to make it easier for the little feet of the boys and girls to climb the nar- row paths that lead to life eternal
 Continuing Rev. MT. Strouse said he wanted to call attention to three di- amonds in life. truth, love, and friend ship.
 The church today is trying to inn press men with the truth of which Jesus said q am the truth" It was through Gods love that he came into the world. and he is the friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
 After the service the large floral piece that had been placed in front of the pulpit was taken to the cemetery and placed upon the grave of A. E. Chandler. whose name was the last one added to the necrology list of She tucktt lodge.

The United States Public Health Service reports that the greater part of the 10000 people who go West for relief from tuberculosis die. They might have died if they had stayed at home, but probably the quiet, rest and comfort there would prolong their lives. The usual warning is given against undertaking the risky change unless all circumstances favor it. In- vestigation shows that the disease is communicated to fewer residents of the states which tuberculosis victims seek than was formerly true This Is partly due to the extra care taken, but is also reckoned to be evidence that tuberculosis is not as communi- cable to well persons as was once thought-Waterbury American.
