Gratitude

Words fail to express our apprecia-
ton Of the long continued kindness
and devotion of the friends who for
the past eighteen months have in every
way possible helped TO tighten our bur
den of sorrow. In the eternal life we
may make new friends: | dare say we
shall But can those radiant, perfect,
and glorified ones ever be quite so near
and dear TO us as those more human
souls that we have known, when they,
like ourselves. were but struggling, as
piring and suffering mortals; those
who have shared Joy and pain with us
who have watched US wistfully over
mountain wilderness and sea, who have
loved with tenderness and helped us
over many hard places. Meetings and
partings, hand-clasps and farewells,
loving nearness and grieving tears
these are the lot Of friendship on earth.
But in eternity there shall be neither
weeping nor any sound of signing and
there shall be no parting there.
