           From God all blessings flow
           Rest assured this is so
           Evermore we surely know it
           Do we really show it?
           
           Now is the accepted time
           Ever help us Lord to use this time
           United we should stand
           Even as one Christian band
           Never cease to love one another
           Such is the way of sister and brother
           Christ is our best friend
           He loves us to the end
           Walk in His ways
           And serve Him all our days
           Never forget He died fo us
           Do not forget He rose again for us  
           Easter is now very near.

      Fred Neuenschwander lived most of his adult life near Isabel, Kansas, and
    taught the Bible class at the Methodist Church 25 years.
      Neighborhood kids visited him often to hear stories of his early years in
    the "old" country and the early days of his "new" country.
      Fred shared his poetry with many of the Church congregation by quietly
    handing a copy to them on Sunday morning.
