Obituary.
In memory of Anna McCloud, who
departed this life July 25, 1903, at the
age of 73 years. Dying in the triumph
of a living faith, she is now wearing
the crown which the Lord has pre-
pared for those who love Him.
Dearest mother, thou hast left US
Thou hast changed thine earthly
home, 80
For the bright, eternal heavens,
Where thou shalt forever roam.
But dearest mother, how we miss you,
How we miss that dear, sweet form,
Since thy voice we hear no more.
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted not alone,
For 'tis God Who has bereft us,
: He can all our SORROWS heal,
Oh! tits hard to think our mother,
Good and kind and true, is dead.
But we look to God submissive,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
Your mission here on earth is ended
But ours is yet undone,
Heavenly Father, help us to do our
work
AS nobly as she has. done.
Farewell dear mother, sweet thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with
pain,
Safely anchored where storms are
DER,
Farewell till we meet on the other
uIla Grace.
