In memory of Fred Goss:

In memory of Fred Goss:
Dearest Fred, thou hast left us.
And our loss we deeply feel.
But It's God that hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal;
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
Where no farewell tear lie shed.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join u number,
Thou no more our sorrows know,
Yet again We hope to meet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Precious Fred, he has left us,
Left US, yes, forevermore.
But We hope to meet out loved n
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours,
Since our dear n has gone,
But q brighter home than III
In Heaven is now his own.
We miss thee from home dear FREQ
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow Ger our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of our face;
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

Friday, Aug. 10.-Once more
my heart is glad and sings for
joy. I had spent a long, lonely
day, and this evening sad and
worn out in body and mind
was walking about in the garden
among the fragrant flowers that
breathed of love and romance.
| stopped beside a rustic seat,
in the silvery light of the moon,
and wondered for the hundredth
time if my Henry would ever
again walk beside me, and say
that without me life would be a
dreary desert where now it was
a garden of paradise.
While l stood still wondering,
with the soft night sounds around
me, l saw something tiny and
white tied to a rose stem at the
back of the rustic seat. Palpi-
tating with emotion l united it
and read with .unbelieving eyes,,

most heart-broken about our
misunderstanding, and want to
