PERKINS It was true when the message came that Mr. Perkins was dead. It was that it was sad. He was our neighbor and in words and in deeds he was truly a good neighbor. To each of his dear children and family would ask God to comfort each one. "To him that ovcrcomcth will I give to eat of the hidden manna," and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name writ ten which no man nocth saveth he that receiveth it.”—Rev. 2:17. In heaven there will be no parting, No pain to bear; No care-worn brow, no sigh, no silvery hair; No death to snatch our loved one from our side, No angry waves, no sea, no treach erous tide. In heaven there’ll be no thirst, no cry for bread. No soul who knows not where to ! lay his head; [No one to feel the winters dulling blast, [ For there the piercing storms will all be past. In heaven there'll be no toil with out repay; No building for a brief ephemeral day; ! For all the joy that prophets old ] have told Twill take the endless ages to un fold. In heaven there'll be no weary pilgrim band; No seekers for a better fairer land; For all who reach that blissful happy shore, Will never cry nor sigh, nor wish for more Mrs. T. G.
