The following poem was read by Rev. A.
s. Bole at the roll-call at the Congrega-
tional church recently:
Mindful of our sacred vows,
We meet, o God, today,
To lay our treasures at thy feet
And bear blessin rich away.
This place, of all, most sacred to our heart,
Because of memories dear,
Calls forth our love, in praise and prayer,
And bids oul rejo ice in Thee.
In plenty Thou hast crowned our year
With merci full and free;
And now we turn cur hearts, o God,
To render fitting thanks to Thee.
But memory calls to mind the dear ones gone,
passing bed1ms the eye,
While questioninss deep within US lie;
But faith in triumph wins the fight,
And God and heaven now fill our souls with
light.
! Our loved ones are not dead, faith says,
But live in realms beyond
| In spirii they may meet with today,
AS swiftly glides this blessed hour away.
! All me! What memories flood the soul,
What forms and faces at our bidding come
again!
other days;
| How sad! how sad! tbs so.
| But brighter thoughts are ours today;
LOOK up, discouraged Heart,
Your loved ones live aud shine, as stars in
heaven
Men die-at least we call it DEATH
! Thank God His glorious church lives on for
| aye.
