LINES
suGGEsTED BY THE LAST WORDS OF
THOMAS S. STEWART, WHO DIED NOV.
II, 1877.
"There is nothing in my way"
Il il well to be ready, and able to say,
When struggling with death, there is
nothing in my way,
Not doubt or a cloud as I'm crossing
the stream,
Though tdrbid aud chilly the waters may
seem.
My Redeemer is near as pass through
the vale -,
While lean on his staff no evil will
assail;
His words is my comfort while life shall
endure,
I trust in his promises, know they are
sure.
Twas in youth that I needed the sacred
Injunction,
And now in this crisis feel no compunc-
ton;
Since my all, on the alter OF Jesus Eye
laid,
And know by his death that my ransom
is paid
Twas in youth from strong drink that l
pleged to abstain,
Binding as it was, it was not taken in
vain; 49,, =,
Now brethren of the order to which
belong,
I shall nevermore join in your jubilant
throng.
Then adieu darling mother, It's sure L
must die,
But then do not shed tear or breathe a
sigh;
| For there's naught to obscure from my
vision to day, ,
The hope of bright glory as Pm passed
away.
May all who have witnessed the sad dis
pensation, -.
Take warning and early seek life and
salvation;
Then when meeting the "monster" may
truthfully say,
I've "set my house In order" there
nought in my way.

but "a soft answer turneth away
wrath" as mush in the poultry bust

a wealthy fancier with a world wide
reputation, it is nice, wonderfully
nice, for those who talk and write
about you to say "He is perfect gen.
to any man."
