Robin Kerr Marsh
TENDER TRIBUTE FROM HIS PA
 

TENDER TRIBUTE FROM HIS PAS
 TOR.
 Robin K. Marsh was bodn in Fagro, N. D., years ago. He came to Bir- mingham when only years of age to make his home with his uncle and aunt, MT. and Mrs. Robert Kerr, the former Of whom preceded him to the grave by only IT months. Robin was the picture of health. He stood six feet and pos sessed great strength for one of his years. He was a student of Auburn col lege last year and would have returned to the school in a few days. He was a favorite among the students, as he was with all who knew him, and will be greatly missed From boyhood he was a member of the Christian church and Sunday school, which will feel his loss. Robin was a great lover of nature. Quiet in his disposition and meditative. he loved to be in the woods and walk the hills and valleys and commune with nature. He knew the trees and wild flow CTS, the birds and the animals and loved to be among them. He could see visions Of beauty and loveliness that rarely come to the, rest of us. He frequently Sex pressed himself in verse, and the fol- lowing lines written upon the death of his sister give fitting and reverent ut terances to his faith:
 
 Is lc<ded down with grief and care; And those we love, when laid away. Seem fairest of the fair.
 When summer flowers have ceased to
 bloom,
 When falls the snow and rain, We know that spring will banish gloom And bring the flowers again. When one sweet blossom falls to earth Twill bloom forever there; To die Is but a second birth
 Unknown to grief and care. Life is the summer of the soul,
 And death Is but dream; And, like the flowers, we bloom afresh In love, as yet, unseen.
 A priceless treasure 1t is worth
 When our release Is given, And souls that live in pain on earth Will find a brighter heaven.
 We can not always understand the ways of Providence, but we can trust the Heavenly Father, for He doeth all things we'll And some time we shall under stand, because we look for the resurrec- tion of the dead and the glorious future life through our Lord Jesus Christ. May the God of all grace comfort the hearts that are bereaved and give to them strength and peace and hope.
