In Memoriam
/ The following was read by Mrs
E. ]. Bayly:
Four o'clock and all is sileni
within Mary's Immaculate halls.
/ Mother Superior, sisters, members
| of the alumnae:
/ We are met here This afternoon
in the parlor of our Alma Mater
to honor the memory of Mary
Immaculate's children, our friend.
and classmates, who have passed
on to their eternal reward.
| Years have passed since the old
er ones went in and out of these
very doors and just a few years
ago others were here with us. But
what is time with God?
These walls of our beloved Al
ma Mater have resounded with
their merry laughter and echoed
with the happy patter of their
feet. No other time is more fit
ting than this Holy season, when
we think of the new life, to honor
their memory and the memory of
the sisters who so lovingly helped
us along the paths of life to true
womanhood and may we not for
get one who was a friend to each
one who knew Him. ls,.0
Who knows. as we believe in the
communion Of saints, but that
they are here unseen listening as
we honor their memory.
DEPARTED FRIENDS
Friend after friend departs:
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end.
Were this frail world our only
rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time.
Beyond this vale Of death,
There surely is some blessed
cline
Where life is not breath,
Nor life's affection transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward to ex-
pire.
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here,
Translated to that happier sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away.
As morning high and higher
shines
To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty
night.
They hide themselves in heavens
own light.

the departed:

Niahk Upon the Earth
When falls the night upon the
earth,
And all In shadow lies,
The sums not dead; his radiance
still
Beams bright on other skies.
And when the dawn star groweth
dim
Upon the brow of morn,
1t still shines on, though earthly
eyes,
That miss II, grow forlorn.
Some other world Is glad to see
Our star that's gone away;
The light whose going makes our
night
Makes somewhere else day.
How fading are the joys we dote
upon.
Like apparitions seen and gone;
But those which soonest take their
flight
Are the NEST exquisite and strong:
Like angels visits. short and
