To Aunt Alice's Little Nephews and Nieces

It has pleased our Heavenly Father to take home to Himself your dear “Aunt Alice” before you are old enough to understand all that you have lost in her j but may you never forget her sweet spiritual face, and the calm, heavenly look in her deep blue eyes as she bade you a loving farewell on that last Sabbath afternoon of her life on earth; and may the Holy Spirit ever keep fresh in your memory her last charges to you to trust in Jesus as your Saviour, and to meet her in heaven. You little know what you have lost in losing her prayers, her love, her tender sympathy, and gentle care and teaching. She took each of you into her heart, which had a mother’s capacity for loving, and earnestly longed that you might all be safely sheltered in the peaceful fold of the Good Shepherd.

May the record of her devotion to the cause of her dear Saviour stir in your hearts a desire to follow her, as she followed Christ!
