“Somewhere back of the sunset

Where loneliness never dies,

She lives in a land of glory

Mid the blue and gold of the skies.”

 

TO OUR ILL, ABSENT AND SHUT-IN MEMBERS

“Be anxious for nothing,

Do not dismay.

For He is ever with you,

Leading the way.

From a life of false values,

To the path that is true,

His love and His wisdom,

Gives strength to renew,

The faith that has wandered,

To fields filled with tares.

With patience eternal,

He waits for your prayers.”

Colette Fedor
