When 1 read In newspaper short

that this old book Of blessed MEMORY
was again coming into its own felt

This item O, cews caused me in my
mind to go back tony childhood days
and then to days later in life When
there were moments, that caused me

and our troth was plighted, there was
happiness sthat was beyond that of
mortal lips to express.
And when the first born came to
bless that humble home there was Joy
in the household, such joy as comes
