“The only one’s .gone
To the regions of light,
Who cherished ns in sorrow,
And made our home bright.
“Oh God 1 give us grace
To submit to thy will,
For the only one’s gone,
And we mourn for him still.
“Oh send b bright ruy
From his home in the skies, i
To qhase away darkness,
And drive away sighs.
“Then, we’ll give up to Heaven
Our beautiful “star,”
And live iu the llightjj
As it comes from afar.
“Till with thee iu glory
We evermore reign,
And olaim there our only—
Our loved!one again.”

A Heavenward OaT-
Written for Tho Homo Journal.
Just as the .'block was pealing
forth the hour of Jseven in closiug
the beautiful day of our last Sab
bath |the.angelj of death visited
our little town and darkened tho
home of Dr. B. Williams by
bearing the spirit of sweet Hallib.
(his wife) heavenward.
She was sick for just one year,
though not confined to her bed
entirely until..about two months
ago.
During her long . illnesss she
suffered much, though every
thing that physicians, loving;
hearts and hands could,do avail
ed not, for iGod-had.sent his an
gel to bring the .spirit - of his lov
ing child home. She knew that
He had sent for her and she met
that Heavenly Father’s call with
joy;
Oh, Dear'Friend, how we will
miss thee,! No one can’ore fill
the* vacancy tjbou* hast made in
leaving us, still we know' our loss'
is thy gain, for all who knew-thee'
loved thee, as,thou didst always
have, a kind word, 'siveeb smile,
helping hand, ami loving heart’
for each and every one, as theiu
didst live a pure, happy Christian
life.
Farewell, sweet Hfilfie, but not for
ever,
‘.‘There will be n glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, ho never,
On that-Resurrection morn.
Though thy sweet form lies sleopiug
, Iu that cold and' 1 silent tomb,
There will be a glorious waking,
When the blessed Lord doth come.”
Grieve not, dear mother, sister;
husband, and sweet little chil
dren for thy loved one is at rest.
While in the hour of thy greatest-
sorrow stop one moment and
think'where thy love one hath
gone. Gone to Heaven, that-
beautiful, bright and happy home-
where there i4 neither 'pain nor'
sorrow. Would you, if you could,
bring her back .to this old world,
of toil and struggle?
Yes, she has left us, but is not
alone, for she hath gone not only,
to meet that Heavenly Father/
but that earthly father and sis
ters, Kassie, Shaddie, and Julia,
who have been waiting in that,
bright and happy celestial world.
