"Faith that increaseth, walking in light! Hope that aboundeth happy and bright! Love that was perfect, casting out fear, for the husband and children She [sic] loved so dear." God calls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly, what he hath given. They live on earth in thought and deed, as truly as in his heaven.
