attended by many sympathetic

sung Nearer My God to Thee and

oh think not of me in the grave,
Or far from dear home of mine;
My soul is flashing in heavenly love,

The light was shining bright for me,
The light in my heavenly home;
The countenance ofmY Saviour's face
He smiled and babe me come.
oh grieve not DER your darling child,
Or wish her back again,
I've paid the debt we all must pay,
I've lived, and heaven I've gained.
This separation won't be long,
You to will will cross the stream;
Heaveo is reality,
Life is but a dream.
And when this life is over,
And all your trials past;
tbs then you'll safely anchor;
Wen strike glad hands at last,

His Best Assistant.

A physician lost case, as the say
ing goes, not long since, and he had
the customary excuse for his failure
to cure the patient:
"Well, we can only assist nature.
This was all right, for we are all
human and are often defeated after
our best endeavors, but when the
doctor later on was boasting of his
success in restoring man to health
satirical friend checked his vain
glorious remarks with the question
