The following poem was suggest
ed by Rev. Healey's Text at Mrs.
Hubbell's funeral and was written
by friend. Text Mat. ~ 42-He
saved others, himself he cannot save.
Yes she is gone,-and it seems all so
strange
That she should go,-she was so
active here;
But God has called her to higher
range,
A lovelier chime, to Celestial
sphere
Where life ends not at death nor at
the grave;
Her life was spent that others she
might save.
In Christian Temperance work, and
Sabbath school
She labored hard, her hand was at
the helm
Now we are left to press the Golden
Rule
And Danish all intemperance from
earth's realm;
She who was even loyal, true and
brave
Others to save,-herself she could
not save.
She who's life here was spent in good
pursuit.
Battling the wrongs with all hec
might and main
Will as the years go by-bear rich
est fruit
Nor will we know until we meet
again,
Bat her kindly pesence greets us
