I v In Loving Memory-of Little Lawrence Smith On the morning of Dec. 2, 1918, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith of Atlanta died at its grand parents’, Mr. and Mrs. Will Allen. Lawrence was only 15 months old when he left his home in this world to live with Jesus in that bright home above. He went to meet his little brother, who had gone on before something over a year ago. And in the hearts of the fond parents and loved ones there is an aching void, a burden of sorrow save the compassionate Lord can lift. Those brown eyes are forever closed, but the happy spirit lives on, and those dear eyes are watching us from above and the little hands are beckoning come. Its playthings are put a way; its little bed is empty, and the little chair is vacant, but put your trust alone in Jesus, for He makes no mistakes. It only draws us nearer heaven when our loved ones are taken away. Everything was done for it that could be done, but God saw best to take it above. We had a little treasure once, He was our joy and pride. We loved him ah! perhaps too well, For soon he slept and died. All is dark within our dwelling, Lonely are our hearts today, For the one we loved so dearly Has forever passed away. Another little lamb is gone To dwell with Him who gave, Another little darling babe is sheltered in the grave, God needed one more angel amidst his shining band. And so he bent with loving smile and and clasped our darling child * A Friend.
