ife, life that spoke more by deeds
md kind acts than by words,-"An in

'emarked the other day. Throughout
Ter sickness Emma was aware that
she could not get well. Still her whole
bought was for the welfare of her
husband and children. Though con-
;cious that she must soon meet her
savior, Emma was ready and willing
o go. She often spoke of it and only
egretted that she could not care long
n for her family.
We will miss her from the home,
And our hearts in sorrow lie;
let we know that she is blessed
In her home beyond the sky.
We would not recall her now,
From the crown that she has won,
Though we cannot understand,
Still we say, Thy will be done"
