1 Organ of iheNorih Carolina Conference. li "h ' 'M 1 SIXTY-FOURTH TEAR, f i1 CI i, V J RALEIGH, N. C, NOVEMBER 7, 1918 NUMRKR 10. It is Well With the Child. (This pathetic cry of a mother's heart will help to soothe many others who are passing through a like experience.-Ed.) The word has come On the field of battle, dead. Sorrow is mine, but there is no more to dread. I am his motherSee. I do not say. "I was, " He is, not was, my son today He rests, is safe, is well; he is at ease From pain, cold, thirst, and fever of disease, And horror of red tasks undone or done. Now he has dropped the load he bore, my son, And now. my heart is lightened of all fears; Sorrow is mine and streams of lonely tears, But not too heavy, for the carrying is The burden that is only mine, not his. At eventide I may lay down my head, Not wondering upon what dreadful bed Perchance nay, all but certainly he lies; And with the morn I may in turn arise, Glad of the light, of sleep, of food, now he Is where sweet waters and green meadows be And golden apples. How it was he died I know not, but my heart is satisfied; Never again of all my days will one Bring anguish for the anguish of my son. Sorrow is mine, but there is no more to dread The word has come On the field of battle dead. Mrs Schuyler Van Rennseler in September Atlantic monthly. u fl
