Obituaries

We are the children of one father
Provided for by his care
And the breast of one mother
And when you separate the world
Remember the relation that bonded thee
To love and unity
And prefer not a stranger
Before thy own love
If thy brother’s in adversity
Assist him
If thy sister’s in trouble
Forsake her not
So shall the fortunes of thy father
Attribute to the support of his whole race
In his care we continue to evolve in your love to each other
Live and direct from the ethers
