Last summer [ had the pleas- ure to visit the old home which is 'hl sieht of old Salem church just op_ posite the graveyard. Many scenes of my hoyhood came to my mind as I looked at the old house, the row of cedar trees and the many stately oaks by the side of the public road that had o often shieldeq me from the hot summer sun during my life on the farm. The trees, the ola house looked quite natural but the forest north and west of the hou-e had changed very much. One scene which brought sadness to my heart was the increase in the population of the city of the dead just across the road. As I read the inscriptions on many of the tombstones, I learned the names of the departed friends that I haw known in years gone by. Twenty-six years is a big gap in & life and as I thought of many that had passed over the river I could nm but think of why T was still left.
