Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   We have still more sad news this morning.

  From Linda Lane Lane ('64) of VA via phone call - 06/24/07 - "  Anne Allen's Mother":

Hi Carol, I saw in the paper a few days ago that Anne Allen's mother had passed away.....

   Thank you so much for telling me, Linda.  I'm beginning to wonder why I read these notices so carefully every morning when so often I read, but I do not see.

   I had seen Mrs. Allen while I was shopping in Sear's once in about 1968 before I moved away from the peninsula, and we had a nice chat.  I wasn't to see her again until several years ago.  It was just before Christmas - I believe in 2002.  Anne and her mother were traveling, and spending the night in Fayetteville.  We drove over to meet with them in their motel room, and had a great visit.  I'm so glad we were able to do that.

  From the Daily Press - 06/21/07:

Servant of God, Well Done!

Words by Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 9 Dec 1893)

(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)

Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
 

 Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.

With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!

O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.

Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
