You taught us right from childhood to be content with whatever life presents to us but we should endeavor to work hard to greater heights. Papa Kwaku, as we often called you had our education as his topmost priority and so you ensured that you provided all that will make that dream a reality. You offered private tuition to us daily after school, which we never liked, but was beneficial eventually. We recall our dawn studies, which we detested so much but had to manage since we had no options regardless of how our mother sought to intervene. Our mandatory reading of storybooks, summarizing

TRIBUTE BY IN-LAW From afar, I had a whole lot of perceptions about you, and I often wondered how my sister Juliet, a teacher under your supervision and my friend Beatrice, got along so well with you. We never had a close friendship until I got married to Nana Yaw. You cared so much and you were such a loving father in-law. You were always concerned with my academic progress and inspired me to work hard in my studies. I experienced the real person you were during my short stay with the family. There was always joy at home and my relationship and love for you kept growing stronger and stronger daily. You never called me by name without adding \"madam\" to it. Dad, \"Madam Efe\" will dearly miss you always. It is hard to say goodbye especially when you passed on when I was in school. Rest well in the bosom of the Lord. Justina B.

You were keenly interested in academic work and always challenged us all to excel in school- for that, we are eternally grateful and will continue to make you proud. We cannot forget how you taught us to be the best of ourselves especially when you would reply to a letter with corrections when in Japan. Although we are sad, we are comforted knowing that you fought a good fight, ran the race set before you, and kept the faith. You never relented. You were always optimistic. We are encouraged by your examples and will forever cherish the wonderful memories of the time we had with you.

Till the storm of life be past; Yebehyiam’ afeb44, da yie! 3.Jesus lives! for us He died; Safe Into the haven guide, 4. Kwantunyi b8r1fo d4fo, Hence may we, to Jesus living, O receive my soul at last. W’ akwantu ab4ɔ adze; Pure in heart and act abide, 2.Other refuge have I none, Atsew esian nyina mu, Praise to Him and glory giving. Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Efi aw8r1how wiadze. Hallelujah! Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Da yie, da yie, Nyame mfa w’ nsie, 4.Jesus lives I our hearts know well Still support and comfort me: Dzi fie kan k4twe4n h1n, da yie! Nought from us His love shall sever; All my trust on Thee is stayed, Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, All my help from Thee I bring; Part us now from Christ for ever. Cover my defenceless head Hallelujah! With the shadow of Thy wing. 5.Jesus lives! henceforth is death 3. Thou, O Christ, art all I want, Entrance-gate of life Immortal; More than all in Thee I find. This shall calm our trembling breath Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, When we pass Its gloomy portal. Heal the sick, and lead the blind : Hallelujah! Just and holy Is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; MHB 400 False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 1.TAKE my life, and let It be 4.Plenteous grace with Consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Thee is found, Take my moments and my days; Grace to cover all my sin; Let them flow In ceaseless praise. Let the healing streams abound, 2.Take my hands, and let them move Make and keep me pure within: At the impulse of Thy love. Thou of life the fountain art, Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee. Mr. Kwaku Ayew Yeboah | 23
