noon hour he was surprised to find
near one hundred people at his home.
Tables were spread on the beautiful

eat, and when every one had eaten
enough was taken up to feed as many
more. Mr.. Bryant in a very pa

his many friends for their Kindness in

live while here on earth, that they
would meet again in Heaven, where
no parting wolds are ever spoken and
no farewell tears are shed.
