Publisher's Synopsis
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF MR. AND MRS. JAMES KNOWLES. They died within a week of each other, after a married life of forty-seven years, and each at the age of seventy-five. Ever faithful to the cause of their Master, they died as they had lived-in triumphant faith. Hand in hand, together they trod Through years twoscore and seven; Their only staff was the Word of God, Their path was the way to heaven. Hand in hand, e'er the burning sun Had drunk up the morning dew, They started their earthly journey to run, While the heavens were fair and blue. But life's path lies not through a grassy dell, In the cool of the morning's shade; There are scorching sands, and torrents that swell, As well as the flowery glade.
