IN MEMORY OF o. H AUSTIN.
Faith, like the snow, white dove descending,
Down from the realms of upper light,
Pure in heart on Christ depending,
Guided him through life Alright.
Hope, like the star that guides the weary,
That lone, clear star that in beauty shines,
Cheered his heart when earth seemed dreary,
Carried him through when life had flown.
Like sweet Loves saint, he soothed the
dying,
And ears were open to the sinners wall.
He heard the sound Of the homeless crying,
He fed the hungry and clothed the frai1.
With peace from that upper life OF glory,
He filled mems souls with a hope for life;
Dear to the young, and to man when hoary,
Dear to all things free from hate and strife.
With joy like fragrant air from flowers,
He foated down life's happy stream,
Cheering our life in its youthful hours,
Soothing our strifes like a fairy dream.
Truth was that grand majestic splendor,
That light which shone in his honest soul,
Making him in his nature tender,
And giving his name the strength it holds
