Walden and took from their midst their little darling, the light and hope of their life. She was a little sunbeam in their lives and the lives of others. She was the brightest and most heavenly little girl we ever knew. She was too pure for this sinful world and God took her all to Himself. When we gather flowers we gather the most beautiful and tender buds for our bouquets, so God plucked for His flower garden the beautiful, tender spirit of the little darling to be transplanted in Heaven. He wanted the most beautiful and precious jewel to illuminate the windows of Heaven, so he called little Martha. Every Sunday morning she would call for “daddy to come on and lets go to Sunday school” and we believe she had a conception of Christ, tho only three years, two months and twenty-four days old at the time of her death. During her illness of thirteen days she would say: “I want to see Jesus and I want to go to Jesus.” Her disease was of such a nature that she was blind and deaf, but her little spirit is with Jesus and there are blind ones there. She would often visit her grandparents and as she entered the room she would say “Granddaddy I’ve come to see you”, no longer will she say this but in Heaven she can say to granddaddy and to all “you have come to see me.” We know not how many souls have been saved by this bright little girl’s short life. It is so sad to us all and especially to the fond parents, for everywhere they look there is something to remind them of their darling. But the ties of Heaven are made more precious and stronger by her having gone. She is sweetly resting in Jesus’ arms, but it seems to us she should have been spared to brighten lives along her pathway, but God knew best and He is too wise to err. To the heart-crushed parents in this their darkest and saddest hour we can only ask God to look on them in tender mercy and ask Him for help and guidance and may they be comforted by Him and His words.
