In Memory of Brothers, Sisters and Other Relatives.

REMEMBER thee in this solemn hour, my beloved brother-sister-friend-I remember the days when we lived together in one happy family circle, and thy love and friendship were my delight and support. Now thou slumberest in the grave, but thy image has not vanished from me. I think of thee with gratitude and bless thy memory for all the kindness thou hast shown unto me. May God bless thee with everlasting joy, may He cover thee with the shadow of His grace, and give thee eternal peace! Amen.

Choir:

HY glory, Lord, surroundeth The souls of saintly mortals, And angel's music soundeth

From heaven's open portals,

To pious pilgrims greeting
At dawn of life's new morning.

All earthly bodies perish;

The soul, the Father's image,

Defieth all corruption;

Is like Himself, eternal;

Though orbs from skies may sever, The soul lives on forever.

Hallelujah!

(Psalm xxxii.)

HAPPY is he whose transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is pardoned.

Happy the man to whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. While I kept silence, my bones were wasted, by reason of my groaning all the day long.

For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength dried up, as in summer's drought. At length I acknowledged to Thee my sin, and did not hide mine iniquity.

I said: I will confess my transgressions to the Lord; and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.

Therefore shall every pious man pray to Thee, while Thou mayest be found.

Surely, the floods of great waters shall not come near him.

Thou art my hiding-place; Thou preservest me from

trouble;
