4 IN RELlEILM In memory of John W. Thompson, who was the oldest Civ- i1'War veteran of John A. Hodge Post No. '71, an editor, an author, a musician, and a friend to young people, we print his favorite poem which gave him courage during nTimes that Tried lEen's Souls -. KCivil War Daysb. We quote him? own words which appeared in the Boston Post Feb. 16, 1957. 'It seemed like a message to me. As quick as thought could travel the thcught came to me, Ulf my time hasn't come I'm not going to lie here and die, and from that moment wdth a desire to live, I improved.U N ENDURANCE How much the heart may bear, and yet not break! How much the flesh may suffer, and not die! I question much if any pain or ache Of soul or body brings our end more nigh: ' Ieath choses his own time: till that is sworn, All evils may be borne. we see a sorrow rising in our way, And try to flee from the approaching ill: Wk seek some small escapeg'we weep and pray: But when the blow falls, then our hearts are still Not that the pain is of its charpness shorn, But that it can be borne. WE wind our life Qbnut another life: ' We hold it closer, dearer than our own: Anon it faints and fails in deathly strife, Leaving us stunned, and stricken, and alone: But ah: we did not die with those we mourn,--- This also can be borne. Behold, we live through all things--famine, thirst, Bereavement, pain: all grief and misery, All woe and sorrow: life On soul and body-but Though we be sick, and ti Lo, all things can be inflicts its Worst, we cannot die.' ' ied, and faint, and worn, borne. EW Elizabeth Akers Allen
