The Eulogy: HThe Precious Nemories of Her" v-J R. NcCall - Pastor
Th~ members of the bereaved family gratefully acknow l edge your every deed of kindness- your flowers, telegrams, your prayers, your visits and your sympathy.
The Committal will take place at the grave side: South Vi8W Cemetery.
As Sister Johnson's blood family was not large, you as Christians see that her r blatives belong to a limitless family circle.

Thou shalt not rob me, thievish Time, Of all my blessings or my joy:
I hs~e .some jewels in my hearts Which thou art powerless to destroy.
Thou mayest denud~ mine arm of strength, And leave my temples seamed and bare;
Deprive mine eyes of passion's light, And scatter silver o'er my hair.
But never, while a book remains, .And breathes a woman or a child,
Shalt thou deprive me whilst I live Of feelings fresh and undefiled.
Hhate'er thy victories o'er my frame, Thou canst not cheat me of this truth:
That, though the limbs may faint and fail, The spirit can renew its youth.
So, thievish Time, I f ear thee not; Thou'rt powerl8ss on this heart of mine ;
Hy precious jewels are my own, 'Tis but the settings that are thine.
