Three weeks before her death little Girtie was born. She was the picture of Georgie, and seemed to have her sweet disposition, and I thought as she grew older she would take her place; but the precious bud was not permitted to bloom in this world of sin.

He has called for many a loved one, We have seen them leave our side; With our Savior we shall meet them When we too have crossed the tide. Every one who saw me thought I would die. But the work that the Lord was calling me to do came up before me so plainly that I thought he would raise me up and open the way; and at these times, when I seemed to be hovering between life and death, I would have such glorious visions.

Oh, the glorious sight that met my view can never be expressed by mortal tongue. It is it a real city. Its inhabitants are real and not imaginary. If mothers could see their children as I saw them, in all their shining glory, they would never weep for them, but would leave all and follow Jesus. I never think of my children as being in the grave.

I feel as though the congregation was left behind, and I was floating upward in a cloud of glory. Oh, Page 28 the wonderful love or God.
