A \^it'] I I I I I I + 3n incmoriam. -f Little we dreamed, as on that quiet night We watched the moon mount up the eastern sky, That he we loved so well that night should die, His soul borne upward to the heavenly light. Alone ! no fast, fond friend stood silent by, No parting kiss was pressed upon his brow, No tear wet eye watched sadly o'er him now. No loving heart returned his parting sigh. Wife, children, home and friends, beloved through life. Were far away; alone ! yet One was near, The Master whom, in weakness and in fear, He had long served amid the din of strife ; The Master calling to the mansions fair ; The Master soothing all the ache and pain Of weary limb, of heart and head and brain, Then leading to the glory waiting there. i 6 He had no ncctl of us in th:it last hour : Ours was the need to catch his (lyin;4 smile, The fragrance of his words to breathe the while, And feel the presence of that unseen power. " Praise not the dead,' says one : Who are the dead ? The friends who walked with us hut vesterdav. And tread the golden streets with Ood to-day? Their garments, white as snow, which once were red? We [)raise them not; Ood only will we praise ; Hut shall we love them less in robes of white, Ami walking ever in his blessed light ? So, in (;ur hcaris, love's monument we raise. Words are l)ut weak, and lani^ua^e fails to tell The feelings deep which permeate the soul, As, one l)y one, we read upon the .scroll Of the departed, those we know so well. But we have lost a father, wise and good, A pastor, teacher, brother and r^ friend, Whose heart was with his people to the end, Bound by the tie of Christian brotherhood. ? What wonder that wo 1)()W our heads, and weep Because tlie accustomed voice we '""^^d no more; hear Saviour, heal the hearts made sad and sore — ** For so He giveth his beloved sleei).'" We see, through memory's chamhrrN dim and vast, In pancjramic view, tond scents jja^s hy, And spel) 1)ou!kI watc^h, with overflowing eye And silent tongue^, those pictures (»f the past. 'Tis Sal)l)ath morn, the pews are over -full, A stately form speaks from the desk above, His words like coals from C)lT(Ioirs aliar, love-- "N'our sins, th.ough crimson, shall be white as wool." Again we see him part the liquid wave At the bai)tismal font, as John of old, In Jordan's stream whose waters gently rolled, Baptized the Christ who came our world to save. And still another scene — a fair young bride And bridegroom stand amid the eager throng — Those solemn words are said a [)rayt:r, not long And they, through life, must journey side by side. 8 Oh, memory's sacred storehouse vast and grand ! Here we refresh our souls when drooping low, "Thou first, best friend which Heaven assigns below," Thy treasures beckon to the " Better Land." - Our father is not dead, tho' from our sight His form is laid to rest, his soul above ; His words of warning and his words of love Shall ever lead us on toward the Light. God, bless dear "mother" with Thy tenderest smile. Be Thou her hope, her stay, her strength, her all, Be Thou her shield, whatever ills befall, And may she patient wait her "little while." And bless the sons and daughter, sadly left Without a loving father's tender care, Their every burden Thou art strong to bear ; A father wilt Thou be to all bereft. And WT, who mourn a pastor and a friend. Grant us to meet around the throne above. To sing the song of "Thy redeeming love," Who, having loved us once, shall love unto the end. \ ■F \ A
