vice. The sphere of his service was
his own generation. The secret oi

“THE LONESOME TRAIL”
By Mrs. J. W. Lawson, Credlton
in memory of Miss Esther Eilber
Down a lonesome trail i look,
Down the trail I look .today,
In the distance I can see
Two smiling eyes, two loving hands
Groping their way to me.
Down the long, long traiL there comes
'One from out the past,
Making my heart sad and lonesome
As on my lips a kiss she imparts.
Down the trail I look, in vain,
Memories vision fades away,
And in its place is an emptiness
For my- girlie that’s- gone away.
Down the long, long trail I look
In fancy I can see
A vision fair, in ro'bes of white
Waiting and patching for me.
Long years may pass away, seasons
come and go
But in the garden of love will al
ways be
The memory of a sweet flower all
aglow
Still blooming for me in heaven,
I know.

of his church, the Arch'biship of Can

comforting testimony: “King
George’s religion,” he said “was
most simple and most reverent, bas

reverent sense of duty to God. It
showed itself in fixed habits of his
life, daily prayers, daily reading of
the Bible, attendance every Sunday,
wherever he might be, at the public
worship of God.”
Is not our heart drawn nearer to
him in knowing that though he rul
ed over the largest and mightiest
Empire in the world, though in hon

other mortal, though his intellect

socially he moved in aristocracy, yet

joyfully honor him in death because w^rhave the testimony that he lived

May our Gracious Lord, in Whose
