wrote the following poejn
about Dobson Chapel.
In each life some rain must
fall
As we plod along and drink
life's ttall.
Behind each cloud
The Sun still shines
And it shines brightly, for
all.
A builder built a temple
He wrought it with skill and
care
But the clouds came
The fires raged
And the temple
Was no longer there.
The temple w as
Old Dobson's Chapel
Down the years it was loved
by all.
As our memory serves us
To the lingering day of old
And turn our faces upward,
onward
To the new day
Our God-given goal
The new day is dawning
For me and for you
As we go forth in this worthy
cause.
The Lord w ill guide us,
Each, all in all
As we roll up our sleeves
And answer the call.
