In a group of a hun dred men of similar age and habits, just so many are likely to be left at a later age and just so many less at a still later age, until finally b.ut a few survive. As the years increase, the pace of disappearance accelerates and I have had occasion in recent months to refer too often in this column to the increasing fre quency of the calls of the grim reap er. Thus it is the inevitable exper ience of people of mature years to see their comrades of other days falling about them; the group con tracting; time taking its relentless toll. If they are wise, the survivors form new friendships in the young er groups, But the melancholy ex perience is still theirs of missing, at intervals, the well-loved faces of yesterday. It is true that those who go, leave ever behind them a memory that compensates in some degree, even if it be in a small degree, for the ac tual physical presence which is no longer here. How vivid and sweet some of those memories are. Only in part are they precious because they are memories of goodness, of kindness, of thoughtfulness for others. These are the hallowed memories of true friendship. A memory of that sort will some times intrude upon a man’s business day a welcome intrusion which leaves its own special blessing upon him. A scene long past will flash once more upon the silver screen of his recollection. A long silent voice will be heard, And the mem ory of someone’s unselfishness will find its echoes in his own heart to re-awaken and re-inspire his own impulses for good. Those like Herman Scherbarth, Dan Maclsaac, Rev. Lome Brown, Charles Either, Henry Either, Chas. Roezler and a host of others who have gone into the Beyond have left something of themselves behind, and it is no exaggeration to say that the influence of every man, however humble does something to reshape the world, or at least the corner of it in w’hich he.lives, and that this influence does not die with him. No one can say on -what far shore will end the ripples which the passing. by of even the least of men must set in motion upon the river of life.
