Mrs. Roy Bierschwale is on A Friend Pays Tribute to Mr. John Casper Rheman, Sr. Mr. Casper John Rheman, was a man whose life follows closely the pattern of America's successful farmer.

Born in humble circumstances and reared in an orphan's home, he rose from the ranks to a successful planter. Being personally honest, conscientious, loyal, hardworking with 1 practical intelligence, he had the great sincerity of purpose and the determination necessary for him to do his work well. To him life was real, a span of to be lived, a family to rear, and a devoted wife to cherish. There is a truism well known that the busy man is the happy man, especially when engaged in the effort to promote the comfort and welfare of mankind. Mr.

Rheman was kind and helpful and happy, and an inspiration to his friends to labor with greater zeal for a more beautiful and productive land. As sand within the hour-glass is gone in one short hour So man lays down his load life and flower. withers like In strength and power, in joy and love, the last call he obeys; How brief the span, how short the time are all his earthly days Tis well that we should each prepare our souls for that event, do some good on earth before spent, bur time is Since we, in love and sympathy can one another aid, Let's cheer each other on the way ere in the grave we're laid. It remains our privilege to look backward over Mr. Rhe- man's life and pay a living tribute to his memory.

No one hears the door that When they pass beyond our call; Soft as loosened leaves of roses, One by one our loved ones fall. And to that companion we would urge, Sweet hours of peaceful waiting, Till the path that she hath trod, Shall end at the Father's Gateway, And they are the guests of God. W. D. Bains.
