THE FAMILY’S FAREWELL Written by Rev. Norman Stoller, Uncle of the Deceased Soldier It has not been easy, dear Eddie, to accept, or even to comprehend your being torn from tha midst of these who loved you to die on a lonely Korean hillside, half a world away. Our first impulse has been to decry the loss of the great promise which your young life held, with all its dreams and plans and hopes for the coming years. Your grandfather’s allotted time upon the earth was three score years and ten; your father’s, little more than two score; but unto you were granted only one score years. We now look back upon your drinking of the cup of life in such deep and eager draughts with a newly-found perspective: there was so much to be done, and so little time in which to do it! How we shall miss your blithe and amiable spirit, your refreshing candor, and your voice, melodious in song! But how thankful we are that the Saviour called you in the days of your youth, and that you found grace to answer that call! How thankful we are for God’s gift to you of oar Sister Cindy, who gladdened ycur last days upon the earth. We are not surprised to learn that your last reported words were of her and your unborn child. We remember how deeply impressed you were with the Apostle Paul’s picture of Christians as Ambassadors for Christ;—representatives of their King in a strange and alien land. We remember how often it was your prayer that you might, indeed, be such an ambassador. And we rejoice that your last deed was an action of mercy and compassion toward fellow-beings in distress. You gave your life as an Ambassador for Christ! We know of no better way for man to meet his God! So, in the assurance that whatsoever He doeth is well done, we pray for courage to pick up the threads of life and press .forward toward that high mark. May it also be cur lot, as of all faithful ambassadors, to one day be called home to receive the reward and commendation of the King! Along with your beloved Cindy and her family, we, your grandparents and cousins; your aunts and your uncles, who somehow were never quite able to fill the vacancy left by the loss of your father at such a crucial age; your sister; and your mother who bore you, and endeavored in the strength of the Lord to guide your steps aright: together, we call to you across the vale: “Goodnight, dear Ed. goodnight! We shall see you in the morning!” MILFORD LOCAL Dr. and Mrs. Alan E. Beer and family of Philadelphia, Pa., spent several days recently with Dr. Beer’s parents, Rev. and Mrs. Tlieo Beer of r 2 Milford.
