And ne'er comes night; Where Jesus has gene a home to pre pare. For all who are faithful and true. For he said, "It is needful that I go away. That you mayco:ue there, too." But. as I write, my mind goes back, And I am lost in thought; And I try to picture her early life. The time of which I know naught. I fancy I see the lo-; cabin home, Around which the forest grew. For grandmother li'ed in the early days. When this beautiful country was new. And she was queen rf this cabin borne And ruled with the hand of love. And no (fueen sitting on a throne Could more of a lady prove. She had time to pi: to church, Or help a neighbor in neerl : And was ever ready, to care for the sick. Or the cry of tb- orphan heed. Her family kept ir.rreasing. 'Till the number ?rew to b Fourteen children and step-children. So grandma was busy, you see; For in those days, h me a factory was Where flax and wool were rpun. And when a garment was fjntshed. i on also had seeu it begun. E'er this, the home -nest had grown too small. And the parents saw that they Must build a more commodious home To fill the needs of the day. So they built a hrJse on. the old homestead, . One among the b'St. ' And it still stands :o speak of them. After they've ge :e to rest. I now press memory's button And vividly I can see The family coming here to church Along with you md me. How, the parents fpoke of the love of God. That in their bc.-ims dwelt; And earnestly praed for his keep ing power. As on their knees they knelt. Some of the children had older grow And married here and there. And drifted into ho:ne3 of their own. Away from mother's care But never away from mother's love. For that was grounded too deep. And over their every action. She loving watch would keap. Some earth ties too had been broken. Four had been called away; And their memory was cherished in the home, While they in the church-yard lay. 8 Price Reduction he Waterloo Boy 12-25 Three-Plow Tractor on 2J FULLY EQUIPPE F. O. B.
