MEMORIAM ---~----- I stood on the bridge one morning· as the hurrying throngs passed by, And my cheeks were kissed by sunshine That streamed from God's own sky• I looked on ,tbe hills beyond me, My throb~ing ~eart was filled; With gratitude and gladness That never can be stilled. God's shnshine softly whispered . ._ To the sunshine of my soul .~ "I am the symbol of the Light of Glory That will ever and ever unfold.• " Life's bridges are all before us, ~nd we cross them one by one. Let us cros s them bearing Love and Service, Till that glorious Sunshine is won. * * * * Lettie Rutherford. In Sincere Memory of Our Deceased Members We Dedicate this . page ; Marion Brown.
