might not catch the reflection of his
pain and fell, too, his hurt.
He had finished his Junior year at
college and it was only a matter of
a few weeks until he would have en-.
tered upon his senior year. He was
more than an average student and we
cannot say how remarkable or how
brilliant a career passed to the
tongueless dust of the centuries with
the dissolution of his last breath.
He was one of the most popular
men that has been entered our Alma
Mater. His personality was one to
touch the grimness of the most con
firmed cynic, to cast a halo of happi
ness. in the knowing of him, around
the head of the most optimistic. Truly
there is a Great Divine to have taken
from our midst such a character that
Heaven might be happier for his
presence there.
And though the nights shall be
lonelier and sadder now that he is
gone, and though the days shall be
less bright because he comes no more
to do that which the light of the sun
can never do—brighten the heart of
man; and though we shall never see
him again until we too, shall join
that tribunal before the throne of the
Maker when all shall come to be
judged by the Omnipotent there shall
come no stain to darken, no dark
cloud to blacken, no feeling of hurt
of rancor in the soul for our memory
of him shall serve to guide us through
all the wastes of territory, through
all the struggles of life, through all—
all that yet lies before us—to that
eternity to which he is gone.
I was not there to see the life-
light leave his eyes, to see the tired
eye-lids close, a heart-rending testa
ment that the soul had chosen to
leave the earthly body that had been
its domain for so long, and seek the
peaceful realms of Heaven. I was
not there to shed my tears as the cas
ket was lowered into the grave and
the sod rose into a mound, mute testi
mony that the last earthly rites had
been performed. But my spirit,
through the perfect communion of
true friendship, was there with him
to his last moment, was with him
when the last cares of human hands
were done; and I pray that to that
sublime realm where he has gone
he shall take that spirit and the spir
it of others that loved him to keep
with him until that time when we,
too, shall answer that last summons
that may come at the break of dawn,
in the hot noon-tide, or when twilight
comes to bring joyous peace to the
troubled heart.
There is an invisable mystery in the
plan of life. We cannot see our dawn.
And when our day is finished all—all
is no more. Even the pleasant mem
ories of our noon-time pass and are
ended with that last, breath which all
must take. God in His wisdom
chooses the moment when He shall
tell the grim reaper to “go forth for
the harvest is ready;” and there are
none who may say him no. Our best
friends are taken from our very side
and we have only tears of sorrow to
shed—visable. But our invisable mem
ory of him is imbedded in our hearts
where none may reach it to do it
sacrilege.
