HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA In Memory of Mrs. Bettie Laster, who met her death at Poterdale, Ga., Oct. 2, 1919, age 61 years. She lived her long and useful life in Henry county until a few months ago. She was a devoted Christian, joined Sardis church when but 14 years of age. She was kind to her neighbors, and a regular and willing visitor to the sick and dis tressed, thereby showing her at tachment to th/i Master’s cause. “Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints.” She is with Jesus now, but her examples, upright and godly as they were, still live, and we are confident that when the Lord comes again to make up His jew els she will be one of His pre cious gems. Our precious one from us has gone, To dwell beyond the sky, Wht re endless years are passing on, Where pleasures never die. No more sorrow shall she ever know, Within that home so fair, Arrayed in robes as white as snow, Safe in the Master’s care. Our hearts are ever sad and lone, We miss her so; But when the shadows have flown, To meet her we will go. We fain would have her with us here, But Jesus knoweth best, And there’s a thought that brings us cheer, Our precious one’s at rest. She’s singing with the angels fair, In that bright heavenly land, And waiting for our coming there. With gentle beckoning hand. I). B. C.
