Her aim in life was high.
Her motives they were pure,
She lived with Jesus over nigh
To make her calling sure.
Her life was one sweet dream;
She lived by faith sublime,
Her deeds on earth like jewels gleam
In .heaven as stars they shine. ,
She was not tired of duty’s way,
■ But traveled iii that light
That led her to an endless day.
Where there is no night. 1

Where all is peace and love;

And reaohed a home above. ,

Her love for God was strong,
It grew by days and years;

And left us here in tears.

We do not murmur 6r repine,
For soon we’ll travel up the way,
