The funeral of Bernard Rafferty last Wednesday was one of the most largely attended that has occurred in this place for a long time, showing the estimate in which deceased was regarded by his society and friends.
'Tis sweet to remember, / Those dear ones now fled / To once more recall / The forms of the dead.
We yearn their comp'ny / Which can no more be; / In heaven - we trust, / His Savior he'll see.
Friends and acquaintance, / Around him did call; / Good words of advice / He had for them all.
Turn not a deaf ear, / To counsel so true; / Turn o'er a new leaf, / Enroll 'mong the "few."
No cause we've to grieve, / Our turn may come next; / It is so decreed, / In the Scripture text.
Death calls us but once, / Then must we respond; / More fixed and sure, / Than Jew and his bond.
Bernard was anxious, / Dear Jesus to meet; / Longed for the mansion, / Where joy is complete.
Sorrowful suff'ring, / In anguish and pain; / We trust and believe, / He heaven did gain.
