Content WRITINGS ON THE TOMBSTONE OF: REV. HOVHANNES ESK IJIAN

ALLEPO, SYRIA. Cemetary.

REV. HOVHANNES ESKIJIAN

CALLED TO HIGHER SERVICE, March 25th, 1916.

His servants shall serve Him and shall see His face. Rev.22:24.
RRR RE

THIS SERVANT'S WORK IS DONE, THE LABOR HERE IS CHANGED FOR THE

SERVICE OF A HOLIER SPHERE, AND HE, THE SERVANT TO THE MASTER

GONE TO COUNT THE GATHERED GAIN, THE CONFLICTS WON.

Here with the Lord unseen the way he trod.
Translated here he sees and walks with God
Here are the lower fields while he wrought

But God has taken him and he is not.
