he desired to ship, to his parents
in the east the body of comrade

An old Nebraska railroad man
having been converted was asked
to lead in prayer. The following
was the response: .
20 Lord, now that have flag
ged thee, lift up my feet from the
rough road of life and plant them
safely on the deck Of the train OF
salvation. Let me use the safe
ty lamp known as prudence, make
all couplings in the train with the
strong link of thy love and let
thy lamp be the bible, and
heavenly father, keep all switch
es closed that lead off the sidings
especially those with blind end.
o Lord, if it be thy pleasure,
have every semaphore block
along the line show the white
light of hope that | may make
the run Of life without stopping.
And, Lord. give us the ten COM
mandments for a schedule, and
when | have finished the run and
pulled into the great dark station

tendent of the universe, say:
