"Our life's book-a different page is turned
each day:
The mysteries the next conceals. none dare to
say.
The binding of life's book is hope, with faith
enwove:
The golden rein about it's leaves is human
love-"
And to-day our love turns to the "Sweet Bye.
and-bye"-to thoughts of the joyful reunions
in "Our Fathers Eternal Home"
