In sad but loving memory of our
dear son, Dallas j. Pierce, who left
us on Easter of 1860:
A long sad year has passed, my son,
The day I'll never forget:
When last ] saw your smiling face,
So clear in my memories yet.
The cheerful smile and helping hands
a heart as good as gold;
Left us that day with no farewell
oh God please Rest your soul.
| loved you, Dallas. oh so much,
God know ! always will:
Thru childhood on thru manhood
Even now your bands are still.
The image of your darling face
Before me oft appears
During the nights when all are quiet.
| shed so many tears.
Your darling family you left behind
| love them oh so true,
To me they are a part of one
The part that loved you too.
Always remembered by Mother, Step
father, and family. Mr.. and Mrs.

Even the disciples needed the
far vision. While Christ was living
with them they conceived His
kingdom 10 be one of narrow cir
cles; they thought the radius of
the church He came to found
should not reach beyond the boun-
daries of their own pations sal
walton, in their minds, was to be
only for the Jews.
Then came Easter and the wider
vision which the risen Lord was
quick to clothe in the command,
Go ye into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every crea-
ture." 1t is apparent at once that
these words know no national
horizons; their outreach is world
wide. Paul caught the spirit of
them and they carried him beyond
the boundaries of Palestine, to
Athens, TO Rome, and TO other
areas of the then known world.
When missionaries like Living
stone and Carey and Patton caught
the same vision il took them TO the
uttermost parts of the world. In
deed Easter and the risen Christ
speak to all who will listen of the
Wilderness of Gods purposes in the
salvation of men, This fact chal-
lenges the church of today to ex-
pend itself to the fullest in bring
ing Christ and His Easter mess
age of immortality to all who know
them not
To bring this closer home, it is
well for us TO recognise that even
now both pastors and congregat-
ions need this .far vision" about
which we have been speaking. To
often we see only that which is
close-the pressing needs of our
own church, the building of our
own organizations, the difficulty of
meeting our current expenses each
year. These often blind us from
catching the far vision the
needs of the church at large, the
giving for missions, for charity,
for education and for other worthy
Christian work And let US not
fear that by giving literally here
we will reduce the amount we viii
have for use of the local congre-
cation. 1t is not so; it does not
work that way. God reverses our
human arithmetic and by His grace
our subtractions for His larger
fields of service are blessed by His
/ and our peoples additions in their
giving for the work in our own
parish.
1 This then is my Easter wish for
you: Cultivate the far vision. Work
and pray and give that the kingdom
of the risen Christ may prosper
and grow at home and in all the
far reaches of the world.
