This was a day long to be remembered by all present as a day of a sweet fore-taste of the great reunion to be held in that world beyond where, when the christians meet, it will not be to part in a few short hours, but where many joyous acquaintances made in this world will be renewed, never to be broken.
Oh bring our dearest friends to God,
Remember those we love;
Fit them on earth for Thine abode;
Fit them for joys above.
