An ungcl in tbo book of lifo, Wroto down an infant's blrtb, Then added ero he closed his book, Too beautiful for earth. And when tho Reaper Death passed by Uo read the words and smiled, Then gently folded in bis arms, That lovely little child. Tho parents wept, but angels Hang with soft and glad accord, They welcomed tho transplanted flower In tho garden of tho Lord. Yes, they wept, but will woep no more, Whon after the trials of this world They meet at tho beautiful gato Their little darling girl. On September, 24th, 1001, a bright little Sunbeam gladdoned tho hearts of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kasor, but it could only be spared a short timo from the {Mortals of glory. Twenty months later on a Sabbath morn tho Angel hand came at live o'clock to carry the pro cIouh jowcl homo for little Louclllo was too puro und bright to dwell in this sin uursed world. Hor mission was ended and tonight sho is clasped in the loving arms of her Saviour, watching and waiting for her parents and loved ones. Yos, some sweot day tho little angol will open tho poarly gates of glory for papa and mama, and Ob! what a shout whon all the loved ones shall gather on that shore to part no moro. Many friends too aro oxpecting to meet her In that fair olime, for lit tle Louciliu was not only loved by kin drod but by every one who know hor. To behold her beaming eyos and faco aglow with love was enough to cause any ono to turn from their sins and bo COrno a child of God, for no sin over touched tho lifo of dear littlo Louclllo. Farewell, darling, till God bids us leave this world of woe, and entor Canaan thoro to wear an immortal crown with theo forover. We loved her, yes, wo loved her, but Jesus loved hor moro and ho sweetly called her to yonder shining shoro. Tho golden gatos wore opened, A gent'o voice said, come, And with farewells unspoken She calmly entored home. K.M.Mir. WlDEMAN. C, IM. & L. R. R. In effect Suuday, Octobor i0th, 1002. No. 62.
