Mrs. Effie Klock, a long time friend of Mr. Crites requested that the following two poems used by Rev. Brockman be printed:
Onward it crept with added strength, Never a thought of fear or pride And it followed the light through the crevice length And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view, Were found the same as they were before; It lost itself in beauties new, Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve, And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive The rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide.
