ure, besides many friends who enjoyed
her bright companionship and loved
her sunny disposition, her parents,two
sisters and a defoBed husband. They
sorrow not as Others who have no
hope for believing in Christ they
also believe that they also who sleep
in Christ will God bring with him..
"Smo0th the braids OF her silken hair
On her queenly brow with tender
care.
Gather the robe in q final fold
Around the form that will not
grow old;
lay On her bosom, pure As snow,
The fairest.sweetest flowers that grow
Kiss her and leave her, your hearts
delight;
In dreamless peace she viii sleep To-
night.
10 blessed sleep that will not break
For tears, o prayers nor loves,
sweet sake;
o perfect rest that knows no pain,
No throb,n no thrtll,o of heart,or brain.
o life sublime beyond all speech,
That only the pure Though dying
reach
God understands and His ways are
right
Bid His beloved q long goodnight.
Weep for the days that will come no
more,
For the sunbeam flown from the
hearth and door,
For q missing step, for the nameless
grace
OF 3 tender voice and loving face;
But not for the soul, whose goal is won,
Whose infinite JOY Is Just bcgnn
Not .or ths spirit enrobed In light
And crowned where the angels are
tonight" w
