through wet and dry wearied souls to win would try no hardships did he shun he dreaded neither cold nor snow a will to serve would always show nor boast of what hed done he preached the sound and simple truth applicable to age and youth but kept in low esteem allowed no selfish thoughts to rise humility did exercise pride found no room in him money collections he did not make pay for sermons

own hands when not away from home and by his labor could afford himself and family to support he was not burdensome in selfdenial he did walk would weigh his words in all his talk he thought before lie spoke a good example he did set his care for all the church was great to build what plans he took we hope his toils will be well paid his king and priesthood never fade with bloodwashed reign
