Live Life

Live life today as though today were all, As though this very morn you were born. Your yesterdays are days beyond recall; Tomorrow does not come until the morn. Rest not upon the victories you have won; Because you lost, surrender not to fear. Your yesterday was ended with the sun. Tomorrow has not come. Today is here. 1 —Douglas Malloch. 4:*

. eloved Official Passes

HARLES A. HENDERSON, for many years Secre- e tary-Treasurer of our Company, passed away in the evening of July 3rd.

Mr. Henderson was one of our best beloved officials. "Words are inadequate to express the grief of his associates at his passing. Into prosaic duties he wove a warmth of under- standing of his fellow men that won the hearts of those who contacted him.

His door was always open and he listened sympatheti- cally to all who entered and gave freely of his practical aid and wise counsel. His many kindnesses remain as a grateful heritage to a wide number of people and his friends will re- tain forever the remembrance of the strength and depend- ableness of his friendship and of his personal dignity and charm.

To those who loved him, to the many whose feet were guided by his kindly wisdom and aid, to the Company he loved and served so loyally, his loss is irreparable. Published Monthly for the Employes of the Los Angeles Railway
