From this world of pain and sorrow
To a laud of peace and rest, t
God has taken you dear sister
Where you have found eternal rest.

From glory no mortal has seen
We shall find her When death's grim
finger
Shall have lifted the veil between.
Whereas God has seen fit to take
this sistet to live with Him; we the
Womana Missionary Society of the

' -humble submission to His will.
