Saya one inspired by God most high Yesterday he was fun of life and fun. Today! Ah so soon his work is done. While busy there upon the pond That the work of the busy mill might go on The rushing waters that were so high Claimed his body, but to God his soul did fly. For Billy had chosen the better life. He shunned both sin and evil strife. Early in life he took the way That leads to life and eternal day. And while we weep and mourn down here For many there are who loved him dear. He was strong, tender and kind. Lads like Billy are hard to find. We think and pause and wonder how It would please Our Lord to take him just now But God whispers back, “I know ail things, I have taken him home to rejoice with Kings, It’s not goodby dear child you know I 11 soon call again and you too can go. Yes in the morning bright and fair M e 11 join our loved ones in the air. The ancj sea shall give up their dead. We know it true for God’s holy word hath said. For we shall see him face to face And tell the story saved for grace. Oh sinner friend give God your heart And never from the Lord depart This life will end but the soul must go To Heaven on high or to dwell below. Billy in life so wanted to win Some of his pals from the path of sin. His sudden death speaks loud to men. May many seek their Lord again. For today we live, but ton.orrow we die We all most meet the Judge most high Will it be for us heavenly joy or eternal woe. And give account fo- all w* k n w . Mrs. P. J.
