REMEMBRANCE
l thank my God upon every remem-
brance of you-Phil. 1:3.
Il want you to know you are never for
gotten,
That the old. old days hid in memory
sweet
Are still part of my life that l
cherish,
complete.
And you are mixed up with so much l
remember,
Your name so often | utter in prayer;
Never forgotten. on earth or in heaven,
Always the child of Gods tenderest
care.
Il want you to know you are never for
gotten,
That my thoughts and my prayers
are folding you round;
Rest in his promise, go where he sends
you,
DO what he bids you, faithful be
found.
Look up and trust him, a new year is
dawning,
Stretch out your hand and take his
to-day;
Bought by him, loved by him, never
forgotten,
Hid in his heart forever and aye
Author unknown.
Dear Aunt Madge:
housekeeping will soon be here, If
not here already, and l fear as usual,
YOU will be left to fill the M. B. column
alone, so am sending poem, l prize,
thinking others also will enjoy reading
it. | think there are none but ENJOY
being remembered in love.
"Carmilla."
Yes. Camilla, people like to be re-
membered, and sometimes when they
are not remembered, the reason is
not always forgetfulness OF them or
NEGLECT, but something interferes
which cannot be avoided. Thanks
for your poem of Remembrance
the first line of which, printed on
post card, would carry message OF
cheer to absent ones.
Here is our old friend Meb, from
whom we are always glad to near.
We appreciate her reporting herself
