User-Contributed Transcription warmth and light of that life, has set, and how bright its sitting. How the remembrance of that sunset glow will ever be impressed upon us all who beheld it. to cheer, to sooth, to encourage, we know what gave it is splendor, and may we not, amid the choking cares of life, forget it, if we wish that ours might be like it, _ _ _ never shall I forget or cease to be grateful for your kind attention and your warm sympathy. from my heart I thank you. I thank you for myself, and for her to whom your calls were ever looked for with an earnest desire and to whom they were a source of much comfort _ _ _ does the knowledge that there is bread fill the hungrey? or the fact that there is rain in the clouds water the parched Earth? Neither does the so suspicion that there is sympathy somewhere cheer the sad and bruised spirit. _ _ _ but may then not be those among you. shivering under the chilling influences of such frosty sympathies, who might by the warmth of christian love be made blessings to you?" Much Love S.W.Furber
