User-Contributed Transcription Onward, onward they bear me towards that goal where I must one day meet them all- each laden with some thought or word or act of value, for which I must account. Will not the long train be strong witness against me, and one by one they come before me! What memories will they bring of this sad life of sin! O can I waste again one particle of time! Weak in myself, there is help for me in One who is mighty. My Savior aid me.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________Dear Henry - my brother. I would not wish thee back again on earth though often comes the tear when I think of thy early removal from us, cut down in the midst of youth and health. 19 short years and thy life is done & now Death has found for thee a "quilt pillow" Thous art slumbering peacefully and angels guard thy rest. Thy soul we trust has found in Heaven its native home. Methinks I see thee near the throne raising high thy note of praise while golden harp strings quiver as they touch. How looks this earth to thee? Methinks not
