"To read from the Holy Word. He read of the tears the Savior shed O'er the grave where Lazarus slept; A chord was touched in the father's breast, And he bowed his head and wept. 'Twas a touching scene, aye, a touching scene, I remembered it many a day, How he knelt him down by his stricken wife,
"And asked the goodly man to pray: But still he knelt with a firm resolve And promised then and there By the grace of God and the pastor's prayer He never would drink again.
