feet of water from the Mississippi

After the completion Of the first
job it was found that a nine-foot
channel, 100 feet wide, was required
to handle barges and towboats opeT-
ating over other sections OF the
great national waterways. War In

the expenditure Of Sls,O00,000 for
a nins-foet canal to Corpus Christi

orization" means that the II. s. Army
board Of engineers may expend, with

sum as is necessary In construction

mONImENIc
Whenever ! visit an old city. I hunt up the old
eemsteriss an read with great delight the inscriptions
upon the stones. The oldest of these encomiums are
usually indecipherable. l find many of the old stones
in the old graveyards in New York have been worn by
the weather until not a word can be read on them.
But where you can read, you find q record that Is
pathetic and amusing. Such long and unbeautiful
verses about the famous virtues OF John Jonas or
Timothy Black. Somebody thought they were import
ant Somebody loved them, long, long ago. But what
does the granite stone mean to anybody nowl Why,
once in a long while come curious person stoops to
read, and smiles and remarks. what rotten verse!"
The effort to make ourselves immortal in this
world by means Of bronze plaques and marble slabs Is
SO utterly futilel
What do We strive for, from infancy to old age?
As ] get it, we strive to win the esteem OF the love
of other persons.
Esteem. respect, honor. glory; these are worth
something. But the thing we crave is love. Love Of
wife or husband, love Of son or daughter, love of close
associates. If we win esteem and respect from a wide
circle, we achieve something. But we fail in life IN
less we via love. We fail, and we know it.
It is not possible for any person to win the gen.
uine love Of very many other persons. For the indi-
vidual who loves you must know you well.
When we look forward 70 death, We regret leaving
those we love. We fear lest they may forget US.
70 person survives in this world, after death, ex-
eept he survive in loving hearts. II he live in one low
ing heart, he lives well; he succeeds. II he be 50 for
tunate as to survive in the loving memory Of two or
three or five or six persons, probably sons. daughters
or parents. he is ilustrious. No man should ask for
more.
But yon cannot live in marble, bronze or the
printed page. Some of your own work may %perchance
live after you; a picture you have painted or a book
you have written. If you are as famous MS Napoleon
or Lincoln, your name will be remembered. But the
personality that is you survives only in those few
cherish ones who have loved you in life. When you
die. you have definitely passed on, as they in their turn
will pass on when those who knew them intimately and
loved them dearly shall be claimed by death.
For Immortality. We must look elsewhere. But the
life that we may live in the hearts Of those who love
Us is very precious to the human soul, even though
that life be comparatively short.
Brass and marble can preserve nothing. Only
love confers life after death in this world.
