The following poems were read at

GODS WAY
Her busy hands are folded DER her

In tranquil peace that follows crowded
years.
Her soul has found its haven now of
Rest.
Her loved ones know, mid hidden
silent tears,
That God has called her Home at close
of day,
And prayerfully they try to see Goods
Way.
God loans mother for while,
That children may know love and ten
der care:
He gives a Mother gentle voice and
smile,
And sympathy, life's burdens all to
share.
God makes Mother precious for a
time,
And then he calls her home to peace
sublime!
"That is Gods Way. He knows when
Mothers hands
Have finished with their task upon this
earth.
He is the only One who understands
The mysteries of life and death and
birth.
He has a place for Mother, high
above;
1t is Gods Way to call her home, in
love-"
