IN MEMORIAn.

An angel our home has visited, And taken you. brother dear, Thus filling our hearts with sorrow, To a degree very hard to bear. But. Jamsie dear, in our sadness. We trust God will give us strength To Su bmit to His all-wise, holy will In taking you to Himself. Your dear face we'll see no more, Nor your kind voice shall we hear; Ne'er more can we look for your letters, Telling us when you'll come home. But, Jamse dear, in the Eternal Home
 With all the angels bright, May your dear face shine. And your kind voice sing
 His praises day and night. Rest dear Jamsie, rest, Sweet. sweet may it be, Among Gods holy angels,
 Externally.
