The old world of great spaces has been shrunk by the intro- duction of speedy and far -flying aero- planes, he said, and another war, with these Instruments and the terrible pois- on gas, would result In horrible slaugh- ter.

The speaker was Ltev. D. J. Lane, minister of Linz Presbyterian 1 church. In a beautifully worded ad - dregs Mr. Lane spoke of the dead and of the service of remembrance. "We need no text except what our eyes are able to see about us," he began, gestur- ing to the surrounding mounds and stones. Those attending the service, be continued, were doing their small part In remembering In death those whom they knew so well in life. Life is but a brief span, the speaker Raid, and he urged his hearers to strive to make their lives worth remembering by those who wou;,l follow. "This service of decoration in itself declares to us that the grave 1s not the 'goal of man,' as Longfellow puts 1t,' he said. "Were there no life be- yond the grave we should not consider It worthy to remember the dead, but because of the Immortality of the soul and the truth and virtue of life we pay this tribute to our dead." The reading of the list of Foresters who have passed from this world was then conducted by Mr. A. Madden. This was followed by the movtfg notes of the "Lain Post," prayed by Mr. R. T. Henry.
