. Is There Room in Angel Land.
| These lines were written after hearing
the following touching incident related
| by minister: A mother, who was pre-
pairing some flour to bake into bread
left it for a moment, when little Mary
with childish curiosity to see what il
was, took hold of the dish, when it fell
to the floor, spilling the contents. The
mother struck the. child a severe blow
saying. with anger, that she was always
in the way. Two weeks after, little
Mary sickened and died. On her death
bed. while delirious, she asked heI
mother if there would be room for heI
among the angels. Il was always in
your tray. mother; you had no room for
little Mary! And will / be in the angels
way? VIII they have room for me ::
The broken-hearted mother then felt no
sacrifice too great, could she have saved
her child.
Is there room among the angels
For the spirit Of your child:
viii they take your little Mary
In their loving arms so mild:
viii they everlore me fondly.
As my story books have said:
VIII they find a. home for MARY
Mary numbered with the dead:
Tell me truly, darling mother.
Is there room for such rs me:
Will gain the home of spirits,
And the shining angels seef
have sorely tried you, mother
Been to you constant care,
And you will not miss me, mother.
When dwell among the fair;
For You have no room for Mary!
She was always in your way,
and she fears the good will shun her,
Will they, darling mother, sayf
Tell me-tell me truly-mother.
Ere life's closing hour doth come,
DO you think that they will keep me.
In the shining angels homer
Twas not so wayward, mother,
Not so very-very bad,
But that tender love would nourish,
Andmake Mary,s heart SO glad.
Oh, yearn for pure affection
In this world of bitter woe.
And 1 long for bliss immortal,
In the land where must go.
Tell me once again, dear mother,
Ere you take the parting kiss,
Will the angels bid me welcome,
To that land of perfect blisss
