In Memory of Laura Esther Smith

On Tuesday night, November
9th, 1907, after eight days of pain
and suffering, little Essie, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Smith,
passed peacefully into that sleep,
from which, none ever wakes to
weep.
Little Essie was six years, nine
months aud twenty-fou days old.
She was loved and petted by all
who knew her. She was a beau
titul little sunbeam-a little rose
bud just opening into lite; dear
to MI who knew her, but dearer,
ali! dearer far, to mama, papa
aud the family circle. We know
thelg hearts are sore--but, weep
not. Jesus said: "Sufer the lit
tie &hildren to come unto me,
end forbid them not. tor of such
is the Kingdom OF Heaven"
Little Essie has only gone on
betores We shall see her again.
But hot as a child shall we again
behold her., For when with rap
ture wild, jim our embrace we
sgain enfold her, che will not be
u child---bnt y fair maiden, in
her Fathers mansion, clothed
with celestial grace, and beauti-
tul with all HE souls expansion,
shall we behold her face.
She is DOT dead--the child OF
our afiectiaa, but gone unto that
school whem she no longer needs
our poor protection, and Christ
himself doth rgle,
ONE WHo LOVED Her.
