To my dear Sister Handy and fam
lily.
am using this method Of express
ing my sincere regret for no being
able TO officiate with Rev. Williams
in paying the last earthly tribute to
my friend for many years. But u
own brother Alfred Clay who is a
staunch friend of brother Handy's
has consented to act as a substitute
for me upon this occasion, which is
highly appreciated on my part and
readily accepted by the family. I
am summoned to Lincoln TO conduct
a funeral of n of the old pioneers
OF the AE. church at this same hour.
with whom | have been her spiritual
adviser and helper for man. years,
and the request is of long standing.
In closing l am extending publicly
my heartfelt sympathy for the prec-
ious wife and remaining part of the
family, but | also know that words
are but feeble instruments to convey
sympathy upon an occasion of this
kind. So therefore recommend to
the wife and remaining family the
Father of all the universe who does
all things well. For in Him only
can you find consolation in this hour
Of grief. But you must remember
That the clock of life,
Is wound but once and no man has
the power,
To tell just when those hands
shall stop,
At a late or earthly hour.
Now is the only time we own,
So let US work for Christ and pray
with a will,
For tomorrow these hands nav
be still.
Yours in loving kindness,
Brother Burckhardt,
Pastor of Christ Temple
