In Memoriam.

With the dark shadows of
night came the death angel into
the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. D..
Evans, a few weeks ago and took
from them their darling baby
girl.
It seems so hard that one so
fair, so beautiful, should so soon
be called back to the angels
above.
But God in his infinite mercy
and love looked down on this
lovely flower, and saw it was too
pure, too innocent to live in so
sinful a world as ours. He saw
so fair a flower was too sweet to
be touched by the frost.
So, with open arms, He clasped
her, and took her home to dwell
with Him in the beautiful be-
yond.
Our hearts are sad at the ST.
lence of our baby voice, and in
vain we long for the touch of her
dimpled hand as in the days gone
by. But we know that she is
free from all sorrow and pain
and is waiting for us at the Gold,
en- Gate, where only the pure and
holy dwell.
There is one sweet face now vanished
+. One sweet voice we hear no more
For the hand of death has banished
: Her unto the silent shore.
The family chain at last is broken
The golden link now waits above
Hard to bear. yet a tender token
! OF the fathers keeping love
Mothers darling pride and comfort
Fathers pet IN his old age
Now through tears, on Jesus leaning
O! turn thy memory's precious page.
And for US. his brothers. sisters
Oh! our hearts seem vacant still
As we sigh in vain for music
That these hearts did sweetly trill.
Let US all through faith in Jesus
And the life through him that's
given
Join that little link up yonder
And make the chain complete in
Heaven.
A FRIEND.
