? MY MOTHER"
My Mother has answered God's
call, "Come home my child, your
work is done." My Mother was
faithful to her church, her l<ord.
and her family. Always her Bible
was close by and when her eye
sight failed, she always requested
someone to read to her each nicht.
When we were small children.
Mother and Daddy always tc'.k u.?
to Church each Sunday. That'
was to be expected at our house.
We grew, up in the church. Never
a stranger was turned away from
our home. They were always wel
come. Our home was always th?
"preacher's" home. Our home 1s
broken now, since mother went
away. I know she and Daddy are
waiting for the children to come
home, and one of these happy
days we will answer the call and
meet them up there, and I pray
each night that the circle will be
unbroken when we meet In the
sky.
In memory of my Mother, Mrs.
J. L Bryson, who went to be with
tin: Lord last March, one year ago.
