Those fifteen years what space they hold
On maps Of earth and time;
What heilthful tides have onward rolled
Towards every and cline.
May all the blessings of the past
Be as the morning light
/ To mid day beams that round you cast
A Tadience ever bright
The evening was spent in delightful
social converse, and each one seemed to
realize the truth of the Saviour's word.
