Still to her youthful pastors heart,
Those days return again;
There he leaned on faithful arms,
True women, noble men;
Alas, he now outlives them all,
All gone from that blessed Shrine;
Those worshippers of former days,
The days of Aud Lang Syne.
God of our fathers changes not,
His throne and sceptre reign;
The generations come and go,
The promises remain;
Our Fathers God we will not for
get,
His presence still divine;
Memorial days, celestial days,
The days of Auld Lang Syne'
"This remarkable minister closed
his work with this church January

full he lives near us. May he reach
the century mark in years. In pray
ers and spirit he is with us today.

ment industry were unfavorable, with

in an increase in stocks to 1928 900
barrels on November 80. This industry
is looking forward to better earnings in
1880, on belief that the Hoover pro-
gram will increase demand and that
the price increase can be maintained.
