OF mrs. GREGG

After the misty shadows of early

friends were anxiously watching, the
subtle messenger of death invaded
''Home, Sweet Home" and said to
dear mother, come! For some hours
before, we knew that already
mothers beautiful hands" and
weary feet were entering the chilly
river, and soon, very soon, with es-
corting angels singing welcome
home, golden streets, life eternal.
she would safely step and stand on
loves eternal shore. Gently, God
called her; peacefully and sweetly
her spirit, white and pure, winged
its flight to the sunshine, the song
the beauty and peace of heaven

love her. She has gone, but has
only gone on BEFORE and will not;
be FORGOTTEN.
To those who loved her so tender
". and whose hearts are now bowed
down with grief, and in tears mourn
their great loss, go out the sympathy
of the- community.
May theirs be the consolation that
comes from Him who shares all ourl
and the light of whose life
penetrqtes every dark cloud of sor-
row that may over-shadow our
llVes and homes.
Could mother send back any mes
sage TO loved ones she would say
'eI.et not your heart be troubled.
Then be content, "bleeding" hearts.
Gods plans like lilies pure and
white unfold,
We must not tear the close shut
leaves apart,
Time will reveal the colyxes Of gold.
And if through patient toll we reach
the land, =
Where tired feet with sandals loosed
may rest,
Where he shall clearly see and I'M
derstand-
I think that. we shall say Good
knew best"
