Wingham Advaiite-Tlirtes, Wednesday, November 24, 1054 Page Seventeen rJ,’he Wingham Advance-Times, Wingham, Dear Sir; We had in Goprie clean-up afterwards I noticed a stain­ ed and water soaked Wall Motto with those familiar words: “Bless this house, O Lord we pray Make it safe by night and day,” These words gave me a strange yet wonderful feeling amidst the ruin everywhere. Surely, I thought there must be blessings here, even in the midst of calamity. As I thought on these things the following poem came into being, “Bless This House, Too” Bless this house, O Lord, we pray, Destroyed by fire one calm day. Bless the Maitland flowing past, Aiding firemen till the last. Bless those folk who gathered round, Salvaging what could be found. Bless these walls, which stand, though old, Telling all—God will uphold. Bless these windows, smashed and bare, Ventilating everywhere. » Bless the new roof, green and bright, Symbol of a people’s might. Bl.ess our homes which still endure, When bright prospects seem less sure. Bless us all, for none can tell, Just how long all may .go well. Bless us now, in loss or gain, Make us kind, or life is vain. W. J. V. Buchanan, Gorrie, Ontario. - Ontario herea very disastrous fire this week.
