IN MEMoRIAM.
In memory of Nellie Evans who
died at her home in Jefferson town
ship, December 8, 1900:
She is not dead, the child OF our af-
lection,
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor
protection,
And Christ Himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stiffness and
seclusion,
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins
pollution,
She lives whom we call dead.
Day after day we think what she is
doing
In those bright realms of air.
Year after year, her tender steps
pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep
unbroken
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance,
though unspoken,
May reach her where she lives.
NINA MCDONALD.
