In memory OF Faye Howard.
Once mole death has been IN our
midst, and taken from us one VI
loved. On e more a home Is lett
-, desolate and sad; in that home Is
a vacant chair. Dear Faye, you
have left US sad and lonely; We
shall miss YOU more than words
, can tell But our loss is her gam
She has gained a heavenly home
she is forever more prot .cted oA
Jesus protecting arms. while W.
who are left are here on eartl
subject to the tolls, trials ant
temptations of a wicked world
I She, dear girl, shall sing God
prai ,es in IA land where ange.
dwell. She has gained her hva'
enlc rest. We think of har, no
as one dead, but as a loved on
t zone before. Jesus saw tit t
y take her home.
She is not dead the child OF onr aiiect'o
But gone unto that school
y Where she no longer need- II pot
;. protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.

And then | think OF one who III h'

The fair, meek blossom tina, grew Il
and faded by my side.
In the cold, moist eaSth we laid h
when the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely shou
have a lie so brief;
