Sometimes he mourns, but he does not maim- ! i in 'o his sorrows into advertising posters to be placed on every sign-board along the public highway. He holds nothing against his neighbor. The world is not in debt to him; he is a debtor to the world. What he gets he is thankful for. What he fails to get he cannot count as his loss. He is never known to speak ill of another. He does not love himself as his neighbor; he "loves his neighbor as himself." His whole life is a universal blessing, and his remembrance a thing of joy forever. He is indeed an ideal man, A Superior Man. Raymond Alta, Canada Memorial Day Our loved ones there in heaven, However safe and happy, Are yet forever longing For us they knew on earth. Though theirs is bliss eternal, Their hearts still hold affections, Their eyes still seek the lovelight That lit their mortal days. Our faces, unforgotten, Still haunt their wistful dreaming, As their long-cheriahed features Shall e'er illumine ours. So now, with wreaths and garlands, We waft across the silence The words of love unchanging They fain would hear us speak. In every perfect blossom Is a message of remembrance To loved ones gone before us To another, better world! Kanab, Utah Will Dobson Copyright by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y.
