34 Dear Old Comrades, We are Passing Away. EccLEST, 12th chapter 5th and 6th Verses. Because man goeth to his long home and the mourn-ers go about the streets. Then shall the dust return tothe earth, as it was and the Spirit shall return unto Godwho gave it. The time is swiftly rolling on, When we must faint and die,Our bodies to the dust return; And there forgotten lie. Through heat and cold, we often went: In sorrow and despair,Four long 3^ears in the war we spent, Prom Home Sweet Home and loved ones dear, A fighting the battles of the Sunny South,Charging the enemy at the cannons mouth Oer fields strewn with wounded and dead.Through a storm of iron and lead. But those sad days that have gone and past^True to memory through life will last. The end our bodies in dust beneath the sod;The soul immortal return to God. W. H. Duff,
