i On July 30th 1912, the Death
Angel visited the home of Mr
(away jand Mrs their C. baby C- Osborn boy; who and took had
j blessed their home for eight
j short months.
It was sick only a short time
j’Vlth I Pneumonia hooping fever. Every caogh —and thing
' was done to relieve the little
! sufferer, but all efforts were in
: vain.
i It is hard to say “Thy will be
| done/’ nevertheless we must
submit to his will and remember
i he doeth all things for the best
iand will give us strength to bear
'our sorrow if we but ask him/
I When the dear little babe was taken
j away, Heaven
There was one more angel in
that day,
One more sou! gone home to Hod,
When they laid little Joe beneath the sod
The Death Angel earne with sickle keen,
And no one there could intervene,
Angels carried him to his home above
Where all is pence, and joy, and love.
Just a few short months with us he
stayed,
Then, for him, the little grave was
made,
We don’t think of him as in the grave,
For we know that Jesus died to save.
Innocent little babe now at rest,
Safe from all harm on Jesus’s breast,
When Jesus was here so gentle and
mild,
He showed that he loved a little child.
“For such is the kingdom of Heaven, ”
he said.
Their souls go to him when their bodies
are dead,
There are baby hands from the golden
shore,
Pointing the way to heaven’s beautiful
door.
The little blue eyes closed here from
our sight,
Are shining now in Heaven, so bright,
When we are nearing Death’s river bo
wide.
May we, as a child, reach the other side,
And meet little Joe witli all the rest.
Who have gone home to thst land o*
the blest.
Beu.e Gudgek.
