So, dear mother, while we miss you, And we gaze with tear-dimmed eyes, ‘Well we know that thou art waiting In that home beyond the skies. Beyond the chilly winds and gloomy skies, Beyond death’s portal there is a land where ‘beauty never dies. ‘Whose life is never doomed by shade but blooms eternal, ‘Where death at last shall set me free, and swift to him my soul shall fiy. Oh, may my shout triumphant be, I am the Lord’s for evermore. li MEEK.— Mrs. Nellie Rhoades Meek died suddenly at her country home near Harrisburg on the night of Oc- tober 23rd, 1925.
