~he Lord is my shepherd:
I shall not want.

Samuel Ostroth
BORN

He maketh · me to lie down in
green pastures: He leadeth me
beside the s till waters.

April 20, 1866

He restoreth my soul. H e lea.d eth
me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

DATE OF D E ATH

Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I
will lear no evil: for thou art
with me: thy rod a n d thy. s taff
they comfort me.
Thou prepares! a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies
thou anointest t;ny head with oil:
my cup runne th over:
Sure ly goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever.
