Little Roberta, the 2-year-od daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. J. Il. Eisemann, has left
TINS world of pain and sorrow, and has
gone TO join the happy band which went
before her. Only a short while ago she
was suffering the pains that come only
while here, but now she hovers around the
throne OF God and sees the face of Him
| who loved little children; now perhaps she
hovers unseen around the loved ones left
| behind, bidding them. although unheard
| To cnme TO her.
! In our human frailty. short -sightedness
and selhshness we ask why this little darl-
| Ing had 20 be snatched from the arms OF
| loved ones; but we must know, although
hard TO realize. that the little darling was
taken for the best; that Jesus wanted an
! other pure, innocent soul to increase Ills
band of coworkers; aud In place of sor-
| rowing, God should be thanked that Ro.
| berta was pure and innocent enough. ant
so. out OF the other children around, she
was preferred and taken.
Although broken hearts are murmuring-
"a place Is vacant In our home
A voice we loved Is stilled:
A place is vacant In our home
