But to be lost when sweetest"
Your sweet little Minnies trials are ended,
No more 10 the earth she belongs,
Her spirit, IN triumph TO Heaven ascended,
Is chanting sweet angelic songs.
Cherished by all. and 90 winning creature
In all that's lovely she grew,
Like the flowers of Eden, her lovely nature,
Nothing but innocence knew.
HeI teachers, her school mates, her friends
her relations,
All loved her, their sweet little gem,
In sorrow they mourn the sad dispensations
That took little Minnie from them.
Living aud loved, and so tenderly cAressed
By parents and friends fond aud dear,
No wonder their hearts feel so sad and do
pressed
That fondly twined round her while here.
Tho by her loss their hearts arc all saddoned,
loss that nought can restore,
Still there's a thought by which they are
gladdened,
In Heaven they'll meet her once more.
Very often Affections to mortals are given
To wean them from earthly care,
As blessings disguised, to point them 70
Heaven,
And meet their beloved ones there.
Look up. bereavOd parents, to heavenly
regions,
Your sweet little Minnie behold,
Inviting you both with giorifed legions
To enter the city ofgod.
Pure as q rose bud that dwells IN the Wild
wood,
As sweet and as gentle she shone,
She was q sweet angel in semblanee Of child
hood,
And Heaven reclaimed but its own.
She's gone with the angels 20 a world that's
With glory, bright beauty and bliss,
Where streams Of delight are eternally
flowing
From founts meier opened il this.
Brighter and fairer than stare Of the morning
Tint splenaor and beauty shed down,
Are the bright jewels, so richly adornirg,
In glory, her heavenly crown.
Obi shed not tho tears of bereavement and
sorrow.
Your Minnie has gone where no troubles
You'll meet her, you'll meet her, to. day or
tomorrow,
In the heavenly regions of endless joy.
Then let that blest thought give sweet con
ISOLATION,
No matter how sad and depressed,
Obi let it dispel the deep desOlation
That dwells in your agonized breast.
You'll meet her, you'll meet hOr, yOu'll meet
her forever,
The being you 80 loved aud adored,
You'll meet her, you II meet her, where part
ings are never,
Your darling will then be restored.

her in Heaven,
Where pleasures forever remain,
You'll meet her, you'll meet her, TO you she II
be given
To embrace and caress her again.
YOu'n meet her, yOu'n meet her in glory
Youll meet her, you'll meet her ere long,
You'll meet her, you'll meet her, where an
thems eternal
Flow upward in rivers Of song.
You'll meet her, you'n meet her in the king
dom Of glory,
In the home Of the saints bright and blest
You'll meet her, you'll meet her, and hear the
sweet story,
How God gives his beloved ones rest.
You'll meet her, you'll meet her, OH Joy fuI
tho snOstingi
At the gates Of the radiant shore;
She'll meet you, she'll greet you, prepare ioi
You viii hear her sweet accents once more
She'll meet you, she'll meet you in sweetest
delight,
As one OF the angelic band,
Sh ell meet you, she'll meet you, with robes
that are bright,
With heavenly crowns in her hand.
She'll meet you, sho'n meet you, sAlntod
immortal,
With all Of the ransomed above,
She'll meet you, she'll meet you, at the PearlJ
At the gates Ofthe city of love.
She'll meet you, she'll greet you, and fondly
entreat you
In the glorifed mansions of bliss,
She'll bless you, she'll press you, and sweoty
cHress you,
And imprint on your lips a sweet kiss.
If we strive, deae school-mates, thro' life''
Journey bewildernR,
Our suf'nngs and cross to sustain,
If we strive TO bo good men, women and
children,
A heavenly crown wen obtain.
If we strive, bereaved parents, to be truly
observant
OF good, we'll obtain our reward,
All will hear the glad tidings, "Well done
faithful servant,
Enter thou to the JOY Of thy Lord"
Then in sadness and sorrow mourn not the
affection
That God ia His goodness has given,
IT'S message oflove, but sweet benedic-
tion,
To bring you 10 Minnie and Heaven.
