Mrs. Thomas Dooley, the President of
the y, l.. l., then read the following origin
al poem:
TO OUR FATHER GUALCO.
Rich is the law of kindness,
And kin to that above,
1t seeks 10 cheer with gladneSS,
And sweetly works by love
This law inspired this meeting
or CheerfuluesS You see.
In love each other greeting,
In this our jubilee.
In honor of our Father.
For twenty-five long years
Hes been faithful teacher
In WEAKNESS and fears.
Yet patient with the erring
But faithful to reprove
In love, in hope, and praying
That we live for heaven above
Sometimes in great temptations,
Lest he had toiled in vain
For some in church relations
OF him would Oft complain:
But ever moving onward.
In hopeful night and day,
Among the good and froward
To teach them the good way.
He's Cheered the sad and signing,
Brought comfort to our home,
sunlight 10 the dying,
Joy in the SiCk.rOOm.
We realize his labor,
In working night and day,
we've come with friends and neighbOrs,
To chase his fears away.
We pledge the Priest our union.
Will show il here tonight
In cheerful sweet communion,
And doing what is right.
We come 20 make him happy
And I'LL his heart with glGe
Our hearts are full and hands are full
In this silver jubilee.
May you, dear Priest be joyful,
Sull working for the Lord,
And every year be fruitful
Till called to your reward
We pray you may be living
And quite as full of glee.
When friends TO you are giving
The golden jubilee.
