In early life, his fiery and i'm pulsive temperament estranged him from friends but when softened by age he cung to them with hooks of steel. And at the close of his earthly career he was at peace with the world and died with the bright hope of true chris. tian. F

 Thou hast crossed the stream of death Johnnie
 The cold and chilling tide,
 And thou hast landed safe, Johnnie, For Jesus was thy guide.
 They have laid thee in thy grave, Johnnie, To sleep thy final sleep,
 And angels o'er thy dust Johnnie Their loving vi gils keep.
 Wild flowers will deck thy toomb, Johnnie, Sweet flowers of early spring. And birds above thy grave, Johnnie, Their sweetest carols sing. Happy spirit shall we meet thee In that bright world above Dear Johnnie. wilt thou greet me With thy sweet smile of love?
