“LET ME DO MY WORK
EACH DAY”
Friends in Jackson county of
Rev. H. F. Branham, and his friends
were numbered by his acquaintances,
were saddened Sunday when news
came over the wire that he had
been called by death, following an
illness of two years. Two weeks
ago, he suffered a stroke, which
caused his death.
Mr. and Mrs. John N. Holder, M.
L. Mobley, Misses Edna Moore and
Doris Hancock attended the funeral
service in Covington Monday after
noon.
A large concourse of friends at
tended the obsequies, and many
beautiful floral offerings were silent
tributes of love and friendship.
A friend of forty years, Rev. H.
C. Emery, officiated, and read a
beautiful selection that was given
him by the deceased, who said, “This
is my prayer.” The prayer follows:
“Let me do my work each day;
and if the darkened hours of despair
overcome me, may I not forget the
the strength that comforted me in
the desolation of other times. May
I still remember the bright hours
that found me walking over the si
lent hills of my childhood, or dream
ing on the margin of the quiet riv
er, when a light glowed within me,
and I promised my early God to
have courage amid the tempests of
the changing years. Spare me from
bitterness and from the sharp pas
sions of unguarded moments. May
I not forget that poverty and riches
are of the spirit. Though the world
know me not, may my thoughts and
actions be such as shall keep me
friendly with myself. Lift my eyes
from the earth, and let me not for
get the uses of the stars. Forbid
that I should judge others lest I
condemn myself. Let me not fol
low the clamor of the world, but
walk calmly in my path. Give me a
few friends who will love me for
what I am, and keep ever burning
before my vagrant steps the kindly
light of hope. And though age and
infirmity over take me, and I come
not within sight of the castle of my
dreams, teach me still to be thankful
for life, and for time’s golden mem
ories that are good and sweet; and
may the evening’s twilight find me
gentle still.”
