builders to adopt plans OF a good
class. The building will be begun as
soon as the weather permits.

ceased, who departed this life Octo-
Der 21st 1899, aged GO years.
All is sad within our dwelling.
Lonely is our home to day.
For the voice we loved so fondly,
Has for ever passed away.
Death seems cruel, yet tits just,
For the Bible tells us SO,
Earth to earth. dust to dust,
We all must surely go.
Our dear father, he has left us,
And is numbered with the dead,
He has gone to live with Jesus,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
One by one our hopes grow brighter,
AS we near the shining shore,
For we known across that river,
Waits our loved ones, gone before.
But in that city bright aud fair,
De is waiting for US over there,
Lonely at the gateway stands,
Reaching out his reckoning hands
Good bye, dear father, we miss you,
In our quiet little home,
But in Heaven we hope to meet you,
When our work on earth is done.
By his daughter,
