From early pring un il late autumn there is always something in bloom to grwej!briz.ht colors. Thousands of heavy lilac plumes of seven varieâ€" ties, thousands of honeysuckle blossoms,| and millions of spirea blossoms lend their charm early in the ”‘z‘"" in .dditxpn to the exceptionally attractive Japanese | uince, the wild cherries, the crabâ€"apples, the redbuds, the mock orange, not to mention many others â€" n to mention here.: In June, 1935, the writer im day session of the Illinois Cemetery Officials.

However, in all cases the best WATERPROOF BURIAL VAULT obtainable should be used in' vhich to en ogse and protect the casket with its delicate katin linings and the precious body from which life has litely passed. In the most perfectly drained ground, if the ground is frozen when a grave is dug thru the frozen erust and rain falls or snow melts, the water will run into the grave: temâ€" porarily ‘simply because it cannot go directly into the ground &nd find the drains. The best vault made costs only $100. Is it not the part of wisdom to hold down the other funeral expenses in that sum, use a p casket and invest $100 in an everlasting and waterâ€"resisting vault or permanent tomb? f "Hp f f (1) In t)}e matter 4;!

Would it not be e sensibleâ€"show more true love and loyalty for the m';‘E:? of the de ~â€"to make sure of absolute protection from contact with the earth and water for the body as the first consideration, and then use the balance of the money to be expended for frail finery? The writer has heard many very substantial cemetery managers say that so far as they were concerned they would QVQT vault that wo‘gildf:?ver hold up the earth in th grafie and that w clude the water from contact with the casket and the body ; that if they could not have an expensive casket after buying such a vault, they on:ld have a plain : box simply lined and painted. | It surely would seem that such a course is the intelligent one. Of course, if a temporary show of something t at? is gaudy to the ::tighbbrs is the prime consideration, such people would not reason that way at all, but it is certain that thousands of people are learnâ€" ing to reason just that way. .

Have the living no duties (e rform in this connection in simple justice to those who| have departed, and have they no duties to perform in justice to themselvesâ€"their own :good names and their peace of mind? In this country of the greatest opportunity and the most wideâ€"spread eduâ€" cation and réfinemrnent, is any man justified in putting his ‘dead in a place of abject squalor simiply because it is “?heap"'! ; ‘ e 4. ; t _ (6) NORTHSHORE GARDEN OF MEMORIES is the only GARDEN resting place which assumes absolute control of the c ter and style of monuments which shall be admitted. In a large majority of cemeteries any kind of a gawky thing called a "monument" has been adâ€" mitted to mark a burial lot or :frave from the earliest pioneer days down to the present time, No discriminaâ€" sion nor supervision nor control has been used in such places. The result is that almost hideous and revolting scenes characterize places which ought to be beautiful and sacred. They should be places where nature and art work together to make scenes which are GOOD FOR THE SOUL . _ ‘Some later "burial parlia” go to the other exâ€" treme by selling lots with the clear understanding that there shall be no monuments above the level of the ground at any time or in any section.: NORTHSHORE GARDEN OF MEMORIES doeés not go to that extreme. Some folks like to have a monument standing above the ground in addition to the marker for each grave, resting on a sturdy foundation and leyel. with the surface of the ground, In some sections it is understood that no monuments above the ground shall ever be admitted. Thus, both classes of~£utrom can be accommodated.

Hence, after the nearest relatives pass away, such a grave is ‘ {n abject solitude in a revolting wilderness of weeds, histles, tall grass, and wild brush until the inevitable me comes when the surrounding population becomes tired. of that "disgrace and eyeâ€"sore" and takes legal. steps to have it turned into a public park or children‘s ; flund Hundreds of such places have met that fate.\ The near relatives of a person whose grave is in such a wretched place have nothing but shame whenever they i.f : of that departed one‘s grave. _ © U P l' (11) . The TIME TO ACT, in view of all of the conâ€" giderations mentioned ‘herein, is when the mind is not | crushed with grief, but when it is clear to consider em | thing carefully. What folly it is for supposedly intelli | gent human beings to seek to put the suggestion of |\ death away from their thoughts! Such people do not ‘teal that for every birth there must be a death and hence, that deaths are just as common as births, that P't uggestion should be considered sanely and without pr iudioé or superstition. People who act otherwise are the ones who are most completely undone and crushed when udde fiz overtaken by the Grim Meéssenger.
