'Sometimes it was no-t -easy for you to do these thing-s which were asked of you- and it would have -been easy for you to have refused; but, that ever present faith* in Brotherly L-o-ve brought you up with <a. smile -and a ready answer “Dill be there.” These things of you will ever be remembered and -cherished by us.

May w>e quote the words of Geo. Bernard Shaw as our summary of your activ- ity among us. “I am of the opinion that my life ' belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it. is my privilege to do for it; whatsoever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief Candle for me. It is ,a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a mo- ment and 1 want to make it burn as brighiHy as possible before handing it on to future generations. ’ We believe that you believe that : The hearts of a friend never wanders- or d-ou-bts, No matter if years- intervene;: The old faith is there, and naught can compare With the comfort if gives, though unseen. Tes, the heart of -a friend is the one thing I prize, As -life lengthens and twilight des- cends ; Tit’s ; the Hast» boon I’ finii-gh my task, That 1 live in. the friends. W-e ask you to accept from us this floor lamp. Not for its appraisal value but rather as -a slight token of remembrance of -the FetHloWs-hip, Friendship and Brotherhood tithes that have -been formed during your all too few years among us. May God's richest -Messing rest on you and your hlo-me and may he guide and. direct yo-ur daily walk of life.
