"Serene, I fold my hands and wait,

Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For, lo! my own shall come to me.

"I stay my haste, I make delays,

For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways,

And what is mine shall know my face.

"Asleep, awake, by night or day,

The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
"What matter if I stand alone?

I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown
And garner up its fruit of tears.
"The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;

Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me."

"Yet love will dream and faith will trust Since He who knows our needs is just, That somehow, somewhere, meet we must; Alas, for him who never sees

The stars shine through the cypress trees!
Who hopeless lays his dead away!

Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play!
Who hath not learned in hours of faith
The truth to sense and flesh unknown,

That life is ever lord of death

And love can never lose its own!"

"The world is filled with flowers,

The flowers are filled with dew,
The dew is filled with heavenly love
That drips for me and you."

"He leads you into no darker room
Than He Himself went through,

· And in your path He has laid no stone
He would not carry too."

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

ADDRESS BY HON. JERRY VOORHIS

Mr. SPEAKER: Since the last memorial service held in this chamber ten Members of the House of Representatives and three Members of the Senate have finished the work which was given them to do here and made their last long journey home. It is, I think, a beautiful and proper custom that one day in every year is set aside from other business of the Congress in order that we may pay solemn tribute to those of our colleagues whose bodily presence has passed away from us but who still live among us in spirit and in memory.

Unlike Shakespeare's Mark Antony we do not believe that “the evil men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with
