The Golden Rule was his guide. That
he was true and faithful was demon
strated by. the devotion Of his friends
when he was sick. His friends came
and so willingly extended a helping
hand. Probably no one ever saw
such willing neighbors and friends to
want to help do something for him.
But God called him home. He left
the sweet assurance that all was well
with him. Sometime we can all see
