IN MEMORY OF THE LATE REV, I. W. VESTAL By Be ula h Brown A faithful friend from us has gone, One that was loved by all; His stay on earth was forty-eight years, Then he heard his Master's call. He was a man of health and strength, His heart was brave and true; He taught the precious Word of God, How we should live and do. His churches were broken-heart ed, Because of his going away; But Jesus loved him better, And would not let him stay. We miss the sunshine of his smiles, His teachings we don't forget; To live for Jesus every day, And Him do not reject. He tried to point his churches, Into the Lamb of God; He never failed when he was called, But was always on the job. It was so sad to give him up. His face we'll see no more; Until we meet him in Heav'n above, Where partings will be o'er. I His work on Earth is ended, His troubles now are o'er; He has gone to live with JesuS, And there live for evermore. PLEASANT HILL Mr. Zane Dickerson, of Ware Shoals, S.
