isolte our dear ones from the
searching sye of the omnipofenu
Judge, nor the power of Resurec-
tion. ASHES to ashes and dust to
dust" is pronounced upon the body.
We are of the earth-earthy and must
return into the dust from whence
We came. But because of the fact
that these bodies have been the
temples of immortal spirits. we lay
them away reverently where all ma
ture is akin and we protect our
grounds from rude and careless in
vasion and strive to create in and
about them an atmosphere of calm,
serene beauty.
But in those days there was none
of this, no regularly laid out paths
nor drives guided the visitor, no
marns to prevent him from walking
on the graves. and while the acct
dental, unpurposeful foot of a pass
er-by cannot unhaliow the ground
nor desecrate the graves, yet good
taste and reverent spirit will well
come such facilities as make pre-
vention easy.
When we contrast the former con-
ditions with those of the present
time we canot but realize how much
has one. straight graded drive
now extends directly through the
grounds. from the North gate ma
king a turn to the East at the
South end, thence leading back to
the highway.
The old wooden fences no more
deface the premises. but, instead
graceful iron fence with its artistic
gates adorns the front of the grounds
bordering on the highway; thus,
surely obviating the need for fences
about in%ividual lots. The arch
was the gift of Mrs. George. L.
Hames of Denver.
A small building which has been
built at the entrance will meet manvI
needs Of those making their pilgrim
age to this place of rest. Interes-
ted friends have raised the money to
pay for the sinking of much nee
ded well.
Every year volunteer workers
have burned and kept down the
weeds, especially the punches of OBJ
noxious soap weeds, but we are told
it is now the purpose of the associa-
tion to secure the permanent serv-
ices of man for the care of the
grounds. More than two thousand
dollars have been spent for these
radical improvements, but the re-
suits more than compensate on the
expense.
1t is possible now for one to walk
through the Elizabth Cemetery with
a feeling of pride and ! reverence,
with admiration and with little fear
of even accidentally placing ones
foot upon soil that hides the last re-
mains of what once breathed the
breath of human life. s~s q
Let us then pay tribute and COM
mendation to those whose efforts
have contributed SO much to the eth
les and refinement of our cemetery.

| This organization coming into ex-
istence just prior to the Great War,
and struggling against adverse con-
ditions during those times which
tried mems souls. has kept steadily
and surely on its way of converting
an unsightly prospect into a place
| of rest and repose.
All good things come slowly and
involve much hard work and sacri-
flee on the part OF some one person
or group of individuals. The men
and women in this world who put
their shoulders to the wheel and
push for any Improvement must al
ways meet with opposition and crit
icism.
We do not like Innovations. We
do not like TO change our old ways
of doing things and we do not like
people TO suggest to us new ideas,
but we must remember that il there
had been no new ideas and no in
novations, since the days of the first
man, Adam, we would be doing
without a great many things, which
we now consider necessities, and
which web ave learned to enjoy.
In proportion as we develope our
intellectual and spiritual apprecia-
tion of what is fine, lofty and es-
thetic, we increase our capabilities
for happiness. A Christianity has
sprad its teachings throughout the
world its influence has been exer-
led to soften and eliminate the old
harsh customs of barharism. It ad-
vances into the crudeness of early
pioneer life and lifts it above pri-
mitive, ignorant usages.
1t is this spirit which has mani
tested itself in Che work and ac-
hievemnts of this association No
thing more nearly touches the indi-
yidual life of a community than its
Cemetery. Nothing more poign-
antly expresses the spiritual ethical
and esthetic status of a people than
the burial place of it's dead.
Six years ago the City of the
Dead here upon tn hill presented an
appearance of shocking neglect
carelessness. Indifference and irrey-
erence. Seeing it for the first time
a stranger. coming from places where
decency and order, combined with
esthetic taste to make of burial
grounds, spots of idyllic beauty,
could but consider with a feeling of
horror the thought of loved one
being left in such place of desola-
ton.
Cattle and stock could enter at
will from the highway through the
broken gates. Rusty iron and old
tumble down wooden fences about
the graves and lots, marred the ap-
pearance and disgraced and pro-
famed what should have been hal
lowed ground and were suggestive
of heather burial grounds where high
fences are erected to keep away the
IGhouls (evil spirits). One wond-
| 'red if here the evil spirits were the
oyotes and the fences a necessity

by side the high and the low, the
rich and the poor. No fences can
