The (Prayer of Faith
BY HANNAH MORE-KOHAUS
God is my help in every need; God does my every hunger feed; God walks beside me, guides my way Through every moment of the day.
I now am wise, I now am true, Patient, kind, and loving, too. All things I am, can do, and be, Through Christ, the Truth that is in me.
God is my health, I can't be sick; God is my strength, unfailing, quick God is my all, I know no fear, Since God and love and Truth are here

It is the family's wish that Mrs. Lockett's friends could have had'some final word about her. You will understand why this wish could not be observed. They would like, however, all of their friends to know how deeply grateful they are for every tender consideration.
