IN REMEMBRANCE OF MRS. FRANK WINTERSTEIN

Oh yes, we have talked of that wonderful place,
Whose glory no mortal has known;
And the joy we shall know when we look on His face -
When the Savior comes down for his own.

We have wondered sometimes, if we should be asleep,
Awaiting His call to arise
If we should remember some trials, and weep,
And God wipe the tears from our eyes.

Oh yes, we have talked of that beautiful land,
Its rivers, its mountains and fields;
And pondered the joys we could not understand,
Where right until wrong never yields,

The angels seem whispering over those things,
To comfort our hearts, and we know
They stood by our sister and their mighty wings
Sustained the one anxious to go. --

A friend.
