Zen from earth completely passed away?
Small seeds of flowers dropped out of sight.
Indeed shall bloom again in broader light.
The pearls of dew that fly so far away
Shall surely come again in needy day;
So is sisters word, mothers love.
With messages they come like returning dove
Not cen the rainbow's kiss is lost on earth,
Bat gives to something newer, fresher birth
There is no fish of sea nor fowl of air
But has abundance of the Fathers care.
A falling feather, a drop of fe eing dew,
Are they more valuable than one of you?
Are patient sacrifice and love aud cheer
The only things on earth that need to fear?
Die these? Then God dies if so bel tits clear
For God the fountain art, these the river near
All truth that's great, all virtue, life, an,
light,
Are the right hand of Gods eternal might.
Will such things fade and perish from tt
earth
When God Himself gives prompting ant

Great rivers may change their course OF
every hand;
The sea and ocean bed become dry land;
The sun may wander and forget it's race;
The moon may fall the stars not know thei
place;
The milky way fold up its awful arms;
, But loving deeds will never lose their charms
Their fruits to hate and blindness are un
known:
They have paradise that's all their own,
A chariot of love in wh ich they ride
And ali the universe must stand aside.
Small faith may oft prepare narrow toni

But righteousness shall never pass away:
When, like the planted corn, it seems to die
Then most tits blessed by showers from O

With loyalty ia all her walks and ways,
To her chu1 CHI of choice to Christ in all he

Eternally to light the darker sea and land.
We meet to-day not SO much to say farewe

AS to pledge our love, our loyalty and trust.
