IN MEMORY OF SIDNEY GOODING Our family circle has been broken, A vacant chair is by our hearth ! A place that .never, can be filled, i, For one of us is gone from earth A voice forever stilied! ' Just at the close of a September day When evening shadows closed . around us, The Angel of Death called our father away. He came and took our darling from us 'Tis sad to part with those -we love so well; And we are loath to give them up. Tis hard to say the last farewell. But all must drink the bitter cup. Out in the silent city, the place they call the city of the dead. We laid his form to rest rest and sleep. Sweetly sleep within its narrow bed, That little mound of clay will always be a sacred place to us. Eecause it is where we laid his form away. But ashes to ashes and dust to dust Was not spoken of the Soul. But the home of the soul is far be yond this vale of tears; Far beyond the dark river of death In a place that is called the City of God The City of the new Jerusalem Where bright angels' feet have trod. There is the soul's sweet home, the haven of rest In a city whose builder and maker is God. Then well may we say, "Oh death, where is thy sting; "Oh grave, where is thy victory?" For the Lord of life and love Hath taken the sting of death away And robbed the grave of its victory. A risen Savior has passed this Avay; He passed through the dark valley of death And opened wide the door. He is waiting now to welcome us, Just across on the evergreen shore. L. E. HOLMES.
