"We give them back [ 0 Thee. dear God. who gavest them
to us. Yet. as Thou didst nOt lose them in giving. so we have
not lost them by their return. Not as the World giveth. givest
Thou, 0 Christ. Lover of souls. What Thou gavest, Thou
takeS[ nOt away. For what is Thine is ours, if we are Thine,
and life is Eternal; and love is immortal and death is only an
horizon; and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Lift them up. Strong Son of God, that we may see further;
cleanse our eyes t hat we may see more clearly. Draw us closer
to Thyself that we may know ourselves nearer [ 0 our beloved
who are with Thee ~ n d while Thou dost prepare a place for us
prepare us for that happy place, that where they are and Thou

DONALD PFOHL
A noble life never d ies . It is thi s thought which will conso le a saddened city as it reflects upon the death of Donald pfohl.
Young Mr. Pfohl, the youngest so n of Bishop J. Kenneth
Pfohl and Mrs. Pfohl, followed the footsteps of his brother,Jame s Ch rist ian Pfohl into a career of music. A grad uate of
Winston-Salem publ ic schoo ls, he attended Da vid son College
and later the University of Illinois, where he majored in music.Upon completing his education he accepted the position as head
of the Wake Forest school of music , and had held that positionfor one year at the time of his death.
Married only a few months ago, and having served fo r only
a year in a position wh ich promised him the opportunity todevelop his genius as an artist in music to its fu llest, Donald
Pfohl has fallen in the very prime and flower of his youth.
But for those who grieve, it is well to remember in t he
darkest hour t hat who lives longest docs not always li ve thenoblest; th at as some poet has said, we live in hear t throbs, notin the figures on a d ia l. By his clea n, exemplary life, andthrough his interest in and devotion to religion and the finer
arts, Donald Pfohl leaves to the keeping of those who knew andloved him treasures beyond the gif t of kings.
