Albion, Indiana Obituary: Even kids don't know the time of their visitation [1918]

To day if ye will hear his voice
harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. 
For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.  
Hebrews 3:15/James 4:14
