day worthy of tender memories and some
searching of our hearts. The real richness
of our lives depends LARGELY on the spirit
ual worth and wealth of those who have
gone before However a family tree may
appear, it is a thing to be contemplated
with all respect. We who are the fort
unate heirs of faithful and high-minded
fore bears should realize this truth. Ii
we possess gifts of character and grace,
it is largely because they were beQueathed
to US by a noble line. Let US, then, IN
humility and reverence, gratefully ac-
knowledge our debt to the past and eagerly
seize the opportunity to pay it to the pre-
sent.
