In addition te 'the small individual headstones, each graven with a cross, there are to be two large memorials in every burial plot--a great stone cross, bearing a sword upon its face, and an altar, or as it will be called, a "Stone of Re- membrance," containing. the words, * "Their name pet ore." What that altar i8 t to be, per- sonally and nationally, so the Lord's Supper is desi to be to Christians. it is a feast of Remembrance; in ¢y- ery act and phase it says, Remember Jesus Christ."
