THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR —THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 19J9. TO MOTHER. Precious mother, she has left us, but not forever more, For we’ll meet her we trust On that bright and happy shore. Our home is so lonely and the hours sad Since our dear mother has gone; But oh, a brighter home than ours In Heaven now her own. Farewell, mother, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part no never On that resurrection morn. Tho thy dear form lies sleeping In the cold and silent tomb; Thou shall have a glorious waking When the blessed Lord shall come. Dearest mother, thou has left us. And our loss we deeply feel; But ’tis God that has bereft us— Heaven all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is fled. When in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed. ’Tis sad to part with those we love, While here on earth we stay; But a blessed thought that comes to me, We’ll meet again some day. Our stay on earth cannot be long; Our journey soon is over, But all the good shall meet again On Canaan’s peaceful shore. If we but do our Master’s will Until this life is past, Then we shall meet again some day And wear a crown at last. She is gone but not forgotten, Never will her memory fade; Sweet thoughts will ever linger ’Round the grave where she was laid. It is sad to part with loved ones, And so hard to see them die; But we trust some day to meet them In that home beyond the sky. There the pearly gates were opened, And a gentle voice said ‘‘Come’’ And with sad farewells unspoken She has safely entered home. Oh, we loved her, yes we loved her, But the Savior loved her more, So the aneels sweetlv called her To that bright and happy shore. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our home That never can 1 e fil ed. God in ms wisdom has recalled T1 e boon His love has given, And though her body slumbers here, Her soul is safe in Heaven. There was an angel band in Heaven That w ts not quite complete. So God took our dearest mother To fill the vacant seat. We had a treasure And she was the joy of our hearts; We loved her perhaps too well For soon she slept and died. All is sad within our dwelling, Lonely are our hearts today For the one we loved so dearly Has forever passed awav. Another dear mother has gone To dwell with Him above; Another dear darling mother Sheltered in His love. , (Mrs.) Flora Hester. METHODISTS CHANGE DATE CAMPAIGN FOR $35,000,000 IN M. E. CHURCH.
