Am c■ 3 FOR E WORD Memoria est thesaurus omnium rerum et custos.” Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things, What jeweled thoughts our memory possesses! How beautifully ir paints anew the scenes of yesterday; and chains to our immediate selves the episodes of blissful youth when the brightness obliterated the darkness, making the road that we have traversed a paradise and an ardent field for future endeavor. God be thanked that it is so—that the ever lengthening chain of memory has only pleasant links, and that bitterness and sorrow of today are smiled at on the morrow. But memory is a child of mother mind, and a very delicate child it is: when nurtured it reflects, and when neglected it rebels. Therefore, dear friend, with this truism in mind we have compiled this volume And may it furnish food for memory, and paint anew those fading, priceless pictures, and be to you a treasure house wherein things are most precious and desirable when reviewed, It is a brief period of life granted us by nature, and the memory of a well-spent life should never die,”
