that we can command to bow sub.

Older than history, as old as hui
manity itself, is the faith in immor-
tally. When the sad hour of death
comes, it is this faith that serves as
mans best consolation. Though
we part from them never to meet
again on earth, we feel that some
where. somehow, we shall join our
friends.
We look forward to other condi-
tons, when with a closer vision,
we shall know them in forms that
never fade. in states that never
change. in affections that are never
dulled, and in that better time we
shall no more be panied by cruel
partings and by hard good-byes.
With eyes that are moist with
tears, with hearts that throb with
deep emotions, let US renew our
VOWS of loving and fraternal service.
Let us 60 forth with greater zeal to
all the kind deeds, the gentle min
istrations; the grand and and prac-
teal beneficences that are impaired
by the great fellowship.
May this resolution serve to
bring us into that sympathy and
harmony of spirit that is ever found
in the union of memories, of affec.
ton of sorrows and of aspirations.
After religious services, conduct
ed by Rev. A. C. Sego, Bro. Bird

call when he shall come forth, as
we believe, to receive his crown.
May the mercies of God be with
his loved ones.

Strong is the hand that closely

though this life cord easily is broken

brought about there is a heart tie
that no death can break. Our

spirit cannot be removed from its
own place in loving human hearts.
