sorrow The shadows have fallen I'm
der them the range OF vision is no, wide
nor the sight very plain, we wipe the
tears away and look again, The world
is not rich in such men as he was.
Could | have had my wish I should
have said. Live, live, live Blu; the
one mind, the mind omni?oteAt, that
planned and built the universe, sees and
can answer the question Why has our
brother died?' Il was lever intended |
that the little space lying rn this side
" the cradle. should he he last Of the |
Of a grea, lse, This life |
is the drill ground he phce character
is built and mind unfoldsd. All this |
means a journey in he end ana when |
the gates are pusaa' pen there will |
come the regard for all his labor and |
toll.
Early in life, Dr. Cue awoke to the
fact that life was mission. Life is
not time to play, to 'ol;er and spend |
idly. our departed friend thought It all !
too short for such levity as this, and |
lived that thought through to the end. |
In this mans record, The cheer with |
which he did his work showed him to
be thoroughly in ,ove with IT, With |
him the Bible was a message OF good
news. have never heard him express
a word Of doubt Gear or depression,
He reached the gospel Of good cheer,
Another characteristic fact in his life
was that he never sowed the seed Of
doubt In any instance; therefore l do
nor wonder at his success. His pres
.nce was magnetic one, Inspiring cheer
and hope l felt this he i'rst time l
ever saw him. It was but the outward
expression Of a full, beautiful inner
ife."
