REST
Beautiful toiler; thy work all done. Beautiful soul into glory gone. Beautijul lije with its crown now won, Godgiveth thee rest. Rest from all sorrows, and watching and fears, rest from all possible sighing and tears. Rest through G od's endless wonderful years. A t home with the blest.
Beautiful spirit, free from all stain. Ours the heartache, the sorrow and pain. Thine is the glory and infinite gain.. Thy slumber is sweet. Peace on the brow and the eyelids so calm. Peace in the heart; neath the white folded palm. Peace dropping down like a wondrous balm. From the head the feet.
It was so sudden, "our white lips said. " H ow we shall miss her, the beautiful dead. Who takes the place o f the precious one fled; but God knoweth best.
W e know He watches the sparrow thatfalls. Hears the sad cry o f thegrieved hearts that call. Friends, husband, children, H e loveth them all- We can trustfor the rest.

** ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS **
