The following appropriate lines
we're read on the occasion by Mr..
Maurer:
AS I remember we'll, and SO years to
day
Since she and I stood side by side
and gave ourselves away.
1t was little else we had to give, but
starting then in life,
I gave to her marriage vow::and she
gave to me wife.
Two precious helping hands she gave,
Two cheeks of rosy hue.
Two dimpled arms, two ruby lips, two
eyes of bonny blue,
Her faithful sweet ompanionship,
her tender sympathy,
The trust and love of her large heart,
These all she gave to me.
We had been a1dently In love for six
long months or more;
We did not count our hearts as lost,
but simply gone before,
And now we sought to reunite our
hearts and selves again.
n that glad dual Spirit wolld where
one is made of twain.
Our wedding clothes we're not the
best, r'.
But still we thought them fine,
And we were just as happy then.
As If We owned mine..
With all my goous I then endow
A PROMISE quietly made
And easy kept. for on my back was
all my stock in trade.
In fact gave her all I had the hour
when first we met
And SO years giving since, still leaves
me in her debt
For what she sives is priceless In val
ue far above. g e.s.... r
The preciousness of rubies-her ten
derness and love. + 4a.
We both are somewhat changed since
We're welded long ago. -gt r. ..
Our eyes are dim, our steps less firm,
~ our hair the shade of snow.
But little use have we for eyes :.
With all our paths so bright,
And:as for..feet, we'v We learned to walk
| by faith and not by sight. * i: ..
We've had misunderstanding. aye.
and who has not, I7pray, ~;
But reconciliation sweet has always
crowned the day. X .-'I
It may be sad affliction,yet just prov
idence will send ~
What'er betide our love shall stand.
Unbrokens to the end.
