IK MEMORIAM
A11 to myself I think of you,
Think of the things we used to do Think of the things we used to say Think of each happy, bygone day. Sometimes I sigh and sometimes I smile,
But I keep each olden, golden while All to myself.
—Wilbur D. Nesbit.
Hitchcock, Mrs. Olive McKee, Mrs. Lottie Rothrock, Mrs. Grace Prentis, Mrs. Carrie Metcalf, Mrs. Mildred Hackney, Mrs. Clara Luening, Miss Katharine Hoge, Miss Josephine Butts, Mrs. Mary Smith, Mrs. Blanche Lynch, Mrs. Ethel Taylor, Mrs. Laura
Keep us, oh God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in
Judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid.
