message, presented to the babys faith

the occasion of merriment and
shower of new and unexpected con-

Words of the Golden Wedding song
written by Mr.. James Alexander
for the golden wedding of Prof. and
Mrs. w. D. Alexander
Should Lies long pathway be forgot
Which hand in hand was trod
Through fifty years of welded love
By gracious help of God.
Though now the tread of age is slow
And grey the brows enfold,
The sweet and tender love of youth
Has ne'er grown dim or old.
We praise the Lord whose hand has
led
Through all this path of love,
Long may He lead through scenes of
earth
And to the Home above.
Chorus-For Aud Lang Syne.
