IN MEMORIAM.
GOODING.—In loving memory of out dear brother, Walter Edwin Gooding, who died in the Greytown Hospital on March 29, 1919, from injuries received in a mdtor accident. You came back from the war, our own dear brother, Still loving us all, but you missed dear mother; We thought you had come back home • to stay, but God wanted a soldier and took you away; We waited for years, and prayed each day That your dear life would be spared in that awful fray; Our prayers Were answered, our hopes were high; But you only came back home to die; • You have left us, dear Walter, in this world of pain; ' We only hope to meet you again; The night was cold, the pain severe, But you smiled on those you loved so dear; . 1 ■ ■ You bore your cross without a cry, And stretched forth your dear nands in ,a last good-bye. Inserted by his sorrowing Bisters and brothers.
