Show LIVE FOREVER IN MEMORY Loved Dead Who Have Gone Before May Still Speak to Ua With Compelling Voices. Who has not known old men and women, bent by the storms ot life, bearing; on their foreheads the scars of boreavoment? They have lowered into the tomb with tho sons and daughters daugh-ters they loved the most precious thing they had on earth. But thero was so much kindness in their eyes and so much peaco In their faces, that we are won, wo know not how. And before tho peaco which their loved dead havo ehed about their heads, we bow as low as the hills bow before Mont Blanc. For you, young men and, women, who perhaps havo lost a father or a mother, no precept, no book, no example, however great It may be, can do as much as their momory at tho bottom ot your heart, if you keep It sacred. They aro hero no longer to follow you, to console you, to point out the way for you, nor to rebuko you by raising their voices against your errors; but In the silence their memory mem-ory speaks to your hearts, and if you aro responslvo It will be seen that this compelling voice of absent loved ones is ablo to accomplish more with you than ever their direct advice and their material presence was able to effect.
