                               " Being Let Go"
                                    Acts 4:23
By William M. Runyan, Chicago, Ill.
The house of pain in which long years she lived
      Too small hath grown;
The angel of the Lord hath touched the latch.
       The prisoner flown.
And "being let go" --whose songs have filled the night
        These many years -
The soul redeemed hath found the realm of light
        That knows no tears.

In her "own company" now, unfettered, free.
         What will she do--
She of the eager soul, intent to see
      Each glory new?
What will she do?  Her glorious
        Lord she first
      Must there adore!
And then, all radiant, greet the myriad friends.
      On heaven's bright shore.

O sainted one -whose fettered years are now
      In triumph passed -
Thine is the freedom of the heavenly life
      At last, at last!
Ineffable the glory now beheld,
      Of which, below,
The mellow light gave to thy tireless pen
      Its beauteous glow.

      Card of Thanks
  We take this way to thank our neighbors and friends for their help and sympathy
during the illness and death 
of our beloved wife and mother, also for the beautiful flowers, songs, and the
comforting words of Rev. M F. 
Early, we sincerely thank you all.  Ambrose B. August, Mr. and Mrs. William J.
Augst, Mr. and Mrs. Laverne 
Daniels.
