Sad Death

On last Friday, July the 21st, the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Watson was thrown 
into a shadow of sadness that words are inadequate to express.

When Mrs. Watson missed her little baby, Mary Mildred, she went out to see 
about her, and Oh, imagine the grief stricken mother to find its lifeless 
little form in a large syrup kettle of water.  It had only been in there about 
two minutes and all was done that a mother and father could to restore it but 
the spirit of this little darling had been wafted “safe in the arms of Jesus.”

The home had been made happier by little Mildred’s presence for two years and 
24 days, and it almost seemed more than this mother and father could do to give 
up this little jewel that they prized so highly.  Oh, how their hearts are 
bleeding at every pore for their precious babe!  We know the grief is great, 
the sorrow is heavy and life seems not worth living since they can no more hear 
the prattle and jabber of their little Mildred but we know God makes no 
mistakes and we must submit to His will.  Grieve not, dear parents, for Mildred 
is numbered among the many little angels in Heaven.  It is through with the 
trials of this earth and

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast
There by His love over-shadowed
Sweetly its soul shall rest.
