NO WAY TO STOP
THE PASSING VISA It*
Christ inn Advocate:
We write it 1021 The day.; of oui
years fly like a weaver's shuttle. Bui
there is no way to stop them. We ca>
refuse to tell our apes; wo can turr
back the hands of the cloak; but n<
such devices can stay the movement ol
time and of the tides. Even monke>
jrlends have not yet disturbed nature
in its ape lonp obedience to the pans,
inp years. The multitudes, like Ponce
De Leon have sought the fountain oj
youth, but, like him, they have failed
to find it. Powder puff, lip sticks
bobbed hair and bobbed skirts do not
deceive Father Time. He has he n
here too long for that. He is e wise
old chap, whose delight is to puncture
pretense, and to fling all things that
are false upon the scrap heap of the
eternities. Only the true, the beauti
ful and the pood can with confiil n< r
defy the passinp decades, Tor , he
eternal years of God are theirs.
The railroads made money last
year. This, however, is not news to
people who bought tickets.
The price of pip iron is so high we
know where they can pet some bis
cuits for a substitute.
NEVER CAUSED I5Y US
make it a point to relieve
immediate family of the
deceased of all care and re-*
sponsibility for the successful
carrying out cf the final du
ties to the dead. You can'al
ways rest assured that our
service is intimately personal
and we give the same atten
tion to all details as though
the departed one were our
own.
