Father’s Letter to Jim. You are leaving home to-njght, Jim And the tears in these old eyes Speak volumes of the past, my boy That you should not despise For I am /very weary And njy sight is growing dim And I had hoped to lean on yo-u - When I, grew feeble, Jim.

I hope and trust and pray, my boy That God your lamp wfflll trim That the love of Christ will fill your cup With pleasure to the brirri; That you may know the peace and joy That comes from following Him, Along the thorny road of life, When you are honest, Jim. I am old and very tired And the way is growing dim, r But often in my, dreams at night I catch a glimpse of Him Who tread the shores of Galilee '/ Mid pain and anguish grim, That you and I might live in peace If ye are faithful, Jim. I am old and very tired, 'And the light is growing dim, As I stagger down the road of life, Side by side with Sorrow" grim; But the angels long the highway Seem to beckon up to Him Who never has forgotten me When I’ve been honest, Jim. —A.
