The children will bring flowers as usual, all in accordance with the instructions of the committee in charge At Memo rial church on the evening of the 28th, Pastor Allen will deliver a patriotic address at which there will be, with out question, a large attendance.

 THE CHIMES OF LIFE difference in point of view
 Has wrought distractions not few To live content with life's alloy Brings needless loss in growth and joy: The great Out Doors held in derision, Shows a pathetic lack of vision, With neither Faith norHope to cherish, AS Without vision people perish! Seek for delight in warp and wool That fills each hour with valid proof. There's nothing merely commonplace That fills need or adds a grace. To cheerful, wholesome, simple liv-
 ing
 The bells of life chime: "Taking!"
