THE ARBOR DAY LADY 
33 
“This memorial tree is clothed in the 
finest of human sentiment. In its ever-re¬ 
newing growth it stands forth as a thing alive! 
A simple symbol to keep forever green, the 
memory of those in whose honor it is planted. 
For to-day and for generations yet unborn, 
this message of a memorial tree is my mes¬ 
sage of life to them!” 
Just so with those we love who live with 
us no more, evergreens are a lasting monu¬ 
ment of green and living shaft and not the 
cold polished cenotaph of marble. 
“LET US KEEP SOME VIRGIN WILD” 
“Let us keep some virgin wild 
Where lakes to silence given 
Reflect the sun and moon and stars 
In beauty back to heaven— 
That you may walk, as others have walked, 
Upon the moss-grown sod, 
And view in unspoiled sylvan ways 
The handiwork of God!”
