The following poem was read:
Last night I sat, the days work done
And as 1 sat and thought of things
A lonely evening always brings,
The pastor of our church droppeI
in s% 'sE
To see just how the day had been
He did not come to talk of creeds
He knew the heart has other
needs. :
That moments come to me and you
When almost any creed will do.
He did not talk of future bliss
But tried to find some joy in this.
The present earth, the present
hour
So often strangely dark and dour,
Yes, with his wisdom and with his
smile s..
He made life's labor seem worth
while.
Worth more than something men are
paid
Whatever is their craft or trade;
Yet, when he left, left unexpressed
A thought | thought, he never
guessed.
When day is here or day is done
A kindness so surprises onel
