In Swee f Memory of Mrs, B. C. Brannan To her dear children, and grand children oh, how mv poor heart craves to speak to you every one, but I know I can not do that, so it seems that I must write. Get your Bibles and read with me, Revelations, 14th chapter and 13 verse. I think it will help me say what I want to say. And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, write blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. Now dear children and grand children I think that is the death your dear mother died. Oh! how her works and ways has helped me through my life. You all know I knew her long before any of you did. I said her life had helped me in manv wavs, and I think you all know too, that she has helped vou every one. Oh that sweet spirit she had. Now I think I can tell vou all why she had that sweet spirit. I think her life was a life of prayer Well do I remember when a little girl how our dear parents taught us at home about God and the Bible and mv oldest sister had told me that little children ought to say littl prayers at night before they went to bed. But some how I felt ashamed to try, until one night some power carried me in to your mother’s room and there I found my precious sisier, Ele°nor, and your mother kneeling by her bed talking 1 think to God. Dear children 1 can not tell you all how bad I felt, this thought came to me with such power, if Eleanor prays, I must to. So you see her life is still left behind her to point us all to trust our dear Saviour Jesus as she did. And I want to tell you all this, from that niglit many years ago when I found her kneeling in prayer, I decided to try to pray to, 1 was a mighty little girl then, but 1 want to tell Eleanor’s little grandchildren that I think God heard my little prayer then and has been mighty good to me all my life. So I want to beg you little children to pray, and trust in God like your grand mother did. And I want to tell you this too about myself. The more I pray, and trust in our dear Saviour the stronger my faith gets in the sweet promises of God and that makes me want to beg you children to read your Bibles and pray to God every day, to give you that sweet quite spirit to help other folks like your dear grand mother did. And now to her dear companion and my dear brother Ben, still be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Ephesians, 6th chapter 10th verse, And all of you pray daily, for God to give me strength the rest of my time in this life to know the right and do it. Aunt Shirley, with lots and lots of love.
