Continued from page 12, column 5

For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me; Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,

Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over;

Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and.

I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

To you, Mr. Radvany, and all the members of his large family, we extend our deepest sympathies. Our love goes out to each of you.
