Waters: l Another hand is beckpning us, Another call is given: l And glows once more with angel steps 1 The path which reaches heaven. l The blessing of her quiet life | Fell on us like the dew: 1 And good thoughts hsie her foots el $ l pressed,
 ! Like fairy blossoms grew. l We miss her in the place of prayer, l And by the hearth fires light, l We pause beside her door to hear l Once more her sweet "Goodnight.' | There seems a shadow on the day, 2. Her smile mo longer cheers, l A dimness on the stars of night, Like eyes that look through tears. Alone unto our Fathers will One thought hath reconciled,
 That He whose love exeeedeth ours
 Hath taken home His child.
 Fold her, o Father! in thine arms, | And let her henceforth be A messenger of love between l Our human hearts and thee. l Still let her mild rebuking stand | Between us and the wrong, | And her dear memory serve to make l Our Faith in Goodness strong.
 And grant that she who, trembling here
 Distrusted all her powers, I May welcome to her holier home 1 The we'll beloved of ours.l For June wedding gifts try Shaw's For choice stationery with engraved heading, crest or monogram, consult Geo. E. Shaw if interested in good wcfk and low prices.
