Citizens, Neighbors, Friends Pay Tribute To Late Co-Worker (Continued From Page Six) Now thy world is understood; Now the long, lone wonder ends! Yet we weep, my erring friends, While the man -whom ye called dead, In unspoken bliss, Instead.

"So friends and especially to those of us who will miss him most, may we not find consolation In the mem ory of his kindness and of his love. In the conviction that his spirit Is with us always. "And may the Father, in whom we all believe, regardless of creed or doc trine, permit us to carry on under His banner of helpfulness and ser vice to our fellowmen. ' "As has been aptly said, 'To thine own self be true and It will follow as the night the Cay, that thou canst not be false to any man.' It seems to me that as fine a tribute as we can leave to Bob's memory Is that we can truthfully say, that he was true to his God, he was true to his coun try, he was true to his fellowman, and he was honest with himself; In short, he was a man." The Rev. R. C. Lee, whose friend ship with Robert Wlthycombe dates back many years, spoke of his stead fast relationship to the church and the fine example he set as a worth while citizen. Regardless of cold or Inclement weather, Mr. Wlthycombe attended church services regularly with his family. Rev. Lee remarked that, "as the home has lost a leader, the wife has lost a husband and the children have lost a father, I have lost a friend; and the world is not supplying such frlencfs Indiscrimi nately." During the service Tony D. Smith. accompanied by his daughter, Jane, at the piano, sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought."
