ACKNOWLEDGMENT 
The family of the late W. R. Hambry wishes to express their sincere appreciation for the many acts of kindness and love shown them during their time of sorrow. 
 
IN GOD'S CARE 
The better you know God, the better you fee l, For to learn more about Him and discover He's real Can wholly, completely, and miraculously change, Reshape and remake and then rearrange Your mixed-up, miserable, and unhappy life Adrift on the sea of sin-sickened strife. But when you once know this Man of goodwill, He will calm your life and say, "Peace, be still." So open your heart's door and let Christ come in And He'll give you new life and free you from sin And there is no joy that can ever compare With the joy of knowing you're in God's care.
