A CHALLENGE TO US, THE LIVING--------
"We are writing our history upon the pages of the world's great history; we are making footprints in the sands of time. God brought us into being for a purpose -- we have a mission to fill in the world. The world will be better or worse for us having had a place it it. The last page of history will soon be written and we will go hence to meet the ancestral family that has gone on before." REV. DANIEL WEBSTER LAMBERT at Family reunion in 1888. (June 8)
