TO ME-. AND MRS. d. R. BEEBE.
By Nellie r. Manahan.I
We are here friends to remind You
OF "a time, ten years ago,
When two names. whereby folks knew you,
One became for veal or Woe
School director sought a teacher
Speed the search, benignent fates.)
Having found her. they concluded
To explore the United States.
Thus they formed another union,
Founded on the golden rule;
Ofthe home school he's director,
And she still is teaching school,
Like the iuster of the MONDAY
May their lives more bright become.
And The love they bear each other
Make very heaven of home.
And for that more recent union
Which has made us sisters dear
Linked our lives in JOY or sorrow,
Shared through each succeeding year;
Ever setting US examples
That arc worked by rules of love:
All their answers are recorded
By the Teachers hand above.
From afar there comes a message,
Written while the tears fall fast:
"God reward you for your kindness;
May we meet in heaven at last!"
In this prayer We are united,
That in yonder home fair
We shall have glad reunion
And not one be missing there.
