In Memoriam
“They will be remembered as we knew them in the full freshness and vigor of their young manhood. And as the years roll on and the seasons come and go, each evening the school will gather here for its few minutes of worship, prayer, and praise. And each morning some will be here to celebrate the great sacrifice which carries with it the hope of the world. Then in the words of an unknown poet –
- They shall not grow old
- As we that are left grow old.
- Age shall not weary them
- Nor the years condemn.
- At the going down of the sun
- And in the morning
- We shall remember them.
May they rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.”
– Samuel S. Bartlett
