; Much thought and labor on be
half of the Cemetery Board of
South Kinloss was climaxed on
Sunday afternoon,. August 2nd,
when a crowd that filled the
audifori'um and gallery and over?

Churchi7 g ^for a dedica
tion service. Following/the organ :
prelude , arid call to worship, the
Invocation prayer was given by
the minister of the church. Rev,
G. S. Baulch; The hearty singing
of “Unto the Hills” was follow-
... ed by the reading of . the Old
Testament lesson, Psalm 24, by
Rev. Douglas MacDonald of Til?

Baulch on. behalf .of the church ; tions at 1 Port, Elgin Highlandl
and Cemetery Board, welcomed
all who had come to the service
and. thanked all who had contrib
uted to the memorial. .
Rev. David Lane, of Clinton in,
his sermon referred to various
memorials that were set up ,to
commemorate events as in 1 Sam.
7:12 when the stone set up by
Samuel was ‘called “Ebenezer—-
Hitherto Hath . the. Lord Helped-
Us^’? He said $ was .fitting that
we honor the memory of those
who had <gone on before us, and
who amid .trials and difficulties
unknown to the present genera-
tion, laid the foundation of our
institutions. There : are m a n y
voices, he said, from this. beauti
ful burying ground which* is
nearly ’100^ years“bld and They
Site to remind us of the fleeting
nature of life at its longest and
best They Speak of \ the folly of
seating our hopes upon perishing
things’ alone instead of the etern
al' things that abide. Love lives
bn after the object of love is
gone and pure and holy lives,
leave a light upon the path of
the living. We should strive so
that future generations might
deem us worthy of honor, he con
cluded. L
After the benediction, the
throng, moved to the church lawn
inside the West gate, where the
arch bears the inscription “To
the Memory of Our Pioneers”.
Amid this quietly beautiful scene
the sup shone down kindly uporT
those who had gathered from
widely different , parts of the pro
vince; drawn by love and remem
brance of z friends sleeping in the
old kirk yard. , Many were the
memories stirred and the silent
tributes paid. Rev. D. Lqne harid^
ed over to Mr. Alex Sutherland,
chairman of -th6> Cemetery Board,
. the memorial gates and fence and
Mr. Sutherland on behalf of the
Board, accepted their care and
keepin’g as a sacred trust. Rev>.
Lan£ then dedicated them to the
glory of God. Rev^ Donald Nich<-
olson offered the dedicatory pray
er and Mr Frank MacKenzie
plaved “The Flowers of the Fo'*-'

the benediction..
