Grand Central, d Street. Los Angeles, Cal.; Arcade Station, TWO COMMUNICATIONS Of unusual two munications published on this page in Thursday's the Herald, one being reprinted from the Worces- ter Telegram. The tone in which they were written moderate and they are of a character to bring re- spectful comment, rather than di- dactic argument, Mr. Steele apparently labors under the impression that he “a monument to the dead can have no reference to the needs of the living except in reminding them of the vire tues of those who have died.” 1pon this misconception of our attitude he built a perfectly correct statement of the fact that many memorials ave, in fact, beneficial and of value to the living aside from their aspect of true memorials, but Mr., Steele's illustra- tion regarding the event when Mary poured the ‘“costly spikenard” on Jesus' head is wide of the mark and, in fact, sustains the opposite attitude, Those about her reproved Mary for *m0 much waste” which might have Dbeen given to the poor. Jesus reproved * those who had criticized her, thus in- directly approving her action, by re- minding them that the poor were al- ways with them; he, not always, Thus, we might add, the living we have al- ways with us te do tor, to aid, The dead have passed be¥ond our human ken.
