celebration than in the North. as both
the graves of the Blue and Gray are
strewn with flowers. Returning to re-

A large audience assembled in the up-

topics. entitled "Our Boy‘s Mother."
The text chosen was Proverbs xxxi. 28.
and reads: "llcr children shall arise and
call her blmeml." Dr. Vanni lslync said:
“As the animal body is built up by the
