"Their Name Liveth For Evermore."
Tie passage "vrh iek Rutlyard Kipling suggests, and ivhicth. lias been adopted by the House of Commons, a® a jfitting inscription for the universal headstone to be erected in all cemeteiiies where British dead lie, is from the book of Ecclesiaticua ,in the Apocrypha. The finest portion reads as follows: Let u» now praise famous men And our fathers that begat us. The Lord hath wrought great glory by them Through His great power from the beginning. * # * # All these wore honoured in their gen•rations, And were the glory ol their times. Thero be of them that .have left a name behind them, That their praises might be reported. And some there be which have no memorial; Who are perished as though they had never been; And are become as though they had, never been born; And their children after them. But these were meirciful men, Whose righteousness ihlath not been forgotten. * » » « Their seed shall remain for ever, And thedr glory shall not .be blotted out. Their bodies aire buried in peace; But their name liveth for evermore. The people shall tell of tiheir wisdom, And the congregations shall show forth their praise.
