sweet vicisitudes of life, bat in this
bright hour of existence, the solemn
signal was given. He has been called
from his labors here to an eternal rest.
Death has again entered our ranks,
thereby weakening the chain by which
we are united man to man. With hum
Bile resignation do we recognize thy
providence, Oh, God, trusting through
| thy mercy, that our loss, in the death
of our brother, is his eternal gain. As
