the office of their creation when they
have all combined to make us think mag
nificently of their Maker. And 1t is GU,

His providence, adore His power, frequen
His service, pray unto Him without ceas'

to teach our thoughts to reverence him
in every place, for there is no place wher
He is not.
To all who mourn and need comfort

who are frien Hess and want friendship
to all who are lonely and want compan
