A Tribute of Respect.
Dedicated to my dear aunt,
Mary Louise Williams born Dec
25th. 1835 married Sept. 3rd
1875. died on the beautiful
Sunday evening of March 18th
1919.
Her life was so beautiful and
upright though Ia boy yet it
made a great impresson on my
mind lat once thought that
her Christian life would furnish
many words for the writers pen
and many inspiring pictures
for the artists brush, often re
quiring her utmost efforts to
live under its heavy impression
though the burdens of life may
be heavy to bare and the cross
is severe yet the sweet assur
ance abides in every true heart
of another life to live more
sweeter than this where there
is no cross to bare no pain to
endure, no grief to share, the
thought of suh a happy exis
tence in heaven cheers the care
worn traveler and quickens his
footsteps gives to the grief
stricken consolation to the faint
hearted courage to overcome
the many trials and tribulations
which are yet in the path that
leads from eai’thly sorrow to
the glory and beauty of heaven.
During her four years confine
men to the sick room I have of
ten entered and oh what a sad
spectacle was presented to my
eyes, everythng had a lonely
appearence, not one solitary
thing could I look at without
thinking of her, I coul dlok at
the chair and think how many
times she had occupied it then
turning I could look at the win
dow which she had eyed many
times to see the twinkling
stars, the glimmering moon the
blue sky, the glowing sun and
probably many things that
were pleasing to her. Then a
-bove all I could turn around
and look at the bed on which
she lay. It had a sad appear
ance, but precious because it
held the fast decaying body of
a Christian woman whose face
was bright in hope of immortal
ity growing brighter and brigh
ter’every day in the glowing at
mosphere of a sweet inhabit
ance she would enjoy first a-
cross the dark river of death in
the city of God. whose gates
are of pearl, the walls are of
jasper and the beautiful streets
are of gold.
But in this room sunbeams
longed to linger around the bed
The birds Ist outside sing their
beautiful songs tho’ the room
was dark to me, yet it was
bright to her because a little
ray of sunshine was gleaming
through the window that was
beckoning her home. A hope
was burning in her breast show
ing the Savior’s hand stretched
forth as He stood waiting to es
cort her over the mystical
stream.
Death is a dream, is only a
dream and glory beyond the
dark stream. How peaceful the
slumbers, how happy the wak
ing for death is only a dream.
Onr lives are as the flowers
that wither and the grasses that
die. Flowers are beautiful pro
ducing sweet odors, but their
lives are only of a short dura
tion, then they fade away. So
was the life of this Christian wo
man. It was beautiful, full of
love, with an influence similar
to the odor of flowers, but she
was forced after the blossom
ing season to wither away as
the flowers and die as the grass
es. Though, I would not live al
ways I ask not to stay, where
storm after storm rises dark
o’er my way.
But alas, after her long years
of untold agonies the
Great Physician looked down
upon her and saw how patient
she had borne the cross though
heavy, yet not murmuring,
knowing of the rest that remain
to the people of God.To relieve
her of its burden He clipped
the tender thread of her life,
but, oh, what an expression was
on her face at the hour of death
What a beautiful countenance
she had, tho’ her face was pale
her eyes closed, and her lips
were stilled, yet in her pale
face beamed ’forth a hope, show
ing that the mortal body would
soon decay and as to the dust
from whence it came, but the
soul would go to God who gave
it, for the mortal body will put
on immortality and the corrupt
ible body shall put on incorrup
tion, then will be brought tc
pass the saying. “Death is swal
lowed up in Victory.” O. death
where is thy sting oh grave,
where is thy victory. Jesus said
I am the resurrection and the
life; He that believeth in me,
though he were dead yet shall
he live; and he that fiveth and
believeth in me shall never die.
A short time before Jesus took
His departure from earth to
f
heaven, seeing His followers
weeping and knowing their
sorrow, He gave to them the
sweet assurance of another life
even with Him far more grand
er than this.
The constant association of
Jesus with His disciples drew
nearer and nearer unto Him.
He had walked with them be
side the still waters and talked
with them about their own per
sonal welfare and taught them
of a heavenly rest they would
enjoy, consoling them with the
promise that He would not be
gone always but would return
to receive them unto Himself,
that where lie was they might
be also. You will find the beau
tiful words that Jesus spoke to
His disciples in the 14th chap
ter of John. The same consola
tion that Jesus gave to His
weepign cliscipes the same He
gives to bereaved friends who
have lost a loved one. Let not
your heart be troubled; fye be
lieve in God, believe also in me.
In my father's house are many
mansions, if it were not so 1
would have told you. I go and
prepare a place for you. and if
I go and prepare a place for
you I will come again and re
ceive you unto Myself that
where I am you may be also.
It s mysterious to us why we
have to give up our dearest
earthly friends, but death is no
resepecter of persons. It lures
in every flower and rides on ev
ery passing breeze.
My dear aunt has fought her
fight, finished her course, and
at last gained the victory over
death, the last and most dread
ful enemy that takes the breath
from within humans and causes
decay of the fleshy body. Heav
en! Oh, what a beautiful word
Oh, what a great meaning.
Dear aunt, thou art through
with toil and trials. Thou hast
paid the debt of love. She has
gone to the glorious city of God
the New Jerusalem, never to
return. No toil; no grief; no
sin; no tribulations; no pain;
no trials; no temptations; no
weeping; no mourning; no cry
ing; no sighing; no tears; no
heartaches; no dying in heaven
How grand it must be. Nothing
to molest her but forever she
will live with Jesus the angels
and loved ones gone before.
Shall who loved her
sorrow that God hath called her
to rest? Whose day dawned on
the morrow, in heaven, the
home of the’blest. Truly asleep
in Jesus, resting from toil: No
more of earthly perplexities.
The sunset on her last day of
turmoil her soul shall encount
er no v’exities. Thou hast gone
from earth to heaven, she has
reached the shining shore there
to live in peace forever where
parting comes no more. Writ
ten by her nephew,
Mercer Williams.

Is it Possible to Legislate
Life and Brains?
Swift & Company is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and useful
ness are only outward
symbols of the intelli
gence, life - long experi
ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it.
Will not Government direc
tion of the packing industry,
now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex
perience and devotion of these
men, which is the life itself of
the industry?
What legislation, what politi
cal adroitness could replace such
life and brains, once driven out ?
Let us send you a Swift “Dollar.”
It will interest you.
