While friends looked on with pleasing de-
light at the unfolding beau = ana Ioveliness,
the untimely scyth clipped the stem, and
the d0wer is fallen. But it Is not lcs-. A
Savior's hand grasps It and transplants it In
the paradise above. There it sha bloom in
beauty, lovlier far than earth ever knew.
Into that Eden deaths scythe never enters;
on it no chilling wind ever blows. and no
blightipg frost ever falls. It's flowers are All
immortal, and thelr beauty fsdsth not for
ever. JENNIE" was the Light of the home
in which she dwelt. She was the pride and
delight OF fond parents and dOting friends.
Their hearts are not Comforted because she
is not. But, weeping ones, remember your
treasure Is only removed from earth to
heaven. On earth it was in danger; in
heaven It is safe forever. The Lord VIII keep
it there for you until you, too, are calleo to
that world OF light and love where your
treasure is there let your hearts be slBe."
"5Orrow not as Others who have no bOps,"
but amid your sadness ever sing;
"Desrsst sister thou hast left as,
Here by loss We deeply feel,
But tits sod that hath bereft Us,
De can all our sOr Ows heal
YET again we hope to meet thee
when tn day Of LIE is fed,
Then In heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear Is shed"
