little susie, ngHd y months, Gays,
infant daughter OF Frank and Emma
Merton. Think not that your little
darling Is Ter from you. She Ia
sweet little ongel In Heaven. Her
dear little soul Is resting, sweetly
resting OH the bosom of her Heavenly
Father. God hns taken this dear llttlo
one from its earthly father aud mother
to be forever His own. 1t IL such
mystery 10 us why God should take
this precious one from parents who
loved her as no tongue can tell, loved
her SO dearly that no child was ever
loved more. 4
3ut God loved her too. and sent
white angel from Heaven TO earth
to take this innocent little child
and bear her on Its gllstenlng wings
OF snowy white to his fold In Heaven,
where she will never know the cares OF
earthly trouble; where her little feet
Will be free from the rough paths Of
earth, and those little eyes will only
see Heavenly beauties. Oh. God, why
was not this little flower left to bloom
on earth, but that this pure little bud
should be broken from its ties here be-
lore the leaves were unfolded that We
| could see the lovlinesss therein. Yes.
God has taken her from earth away
and now she Is waiting at the portals
OF heaven to msst father and mother
and all the loyod ores she had on
earth.
Yes, they go to meet her there. Just
across the river on the bright green
banks OF our future home. Their
mo ther can behold those bright eyes
looking mp TO hers with that same
sweet look as when she was with bel
here, and feel again those tiny fingers
pressed to her face as before. God
claimed her for his child; now she is
with other little angels, pure as her
own sweet self. She hears sweeter
music than we ever heard; she KNOWS
joys that we DIR am not OF; there Ia a
time soon to come to some OF us.
when we Will enjoy the blessings she
now is enjoying.
What peace we have to know that
we can go to our loved ones. although
they cannot come to us. We know
not how soon God will call us from
earth away to meet him in Heaven, Tor
know He Will not always leave us
here.
Some day. but when cannot tell.
To tot 5 and tears Wen bid farewell.
For we shall witlt the angels, dwell,
some day, some blessed day.
