GONE TO BE AN ANGEL
On July 23 the Death Angel visited
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Calloway and . gently laying hand on
little Virgil, bade him tollow to a
rlimp where there is no darkness.
The frftst of an early death blighted
his life forever. No, not forever, for
the light of this little life will shme
brighter ' from the portals of glory
than it could have shone in an earth
1v tinmc. -
The flower budding so beautifully
could not bloom, but was gathered
by the Lord, to a heavenly, garden.
Our Lord ha need for them, all.
He gathers the rose " buds, as well
as full-grown flowers; and He has
said, "Suffer little children to come
unto me, .for- such is . the JCingdom
of Heaven."
Little - Virgil was a bright child.
He seemed to know and understand
when breath 'was almost ' gone. He
said "mamma don't leave me." But
what a comfort to knowVhe is a little
angel today, resting on the Saviors
breast. He is where there is no
night. He needs no candle, neither
light of the 'sun.
He was sick S weeks and bore his
suffering patiently. Seemed that he
was only waiting for angels to carry
him home.
' Virgil was born March 14, 1924
Died July 23, 1927. A bright short
lived flower, but not without a blessed
influence.
On this dark and troubled day
We will gently lay his form away;
Robe the little angel in white,
And lay him out of earthly sight!
We know we shall go to you,
And see your face once more;
How glorious will that meeting
Be with dear ones gone before.
