OBITUARY.
Rosib Card died at Wellington January 7th, 1891.—R.1.P Dear Rosie has left us B»d and lonely Ere the summer days were spent ; Oil her biow uo sign of sorrow, Rather smiles of sweet content. " I am going," she said, " to Jesus, To the land where all is fair ; Father, mother, brothers, sisters, I shall hope you'll meet me there. '• From dear father, who so loved me, And thought me in this world the best, To where no thought of sin can enter, And where all is perfect rest ; Where the Son, who gave His life-blood All ray load of sins to bear, Dwells for ever with the ransomed — I shall hope you'll meet me there. " And front ev'ry eye our Lord shall Wipe away the rising tear ; He shall bid His loved ones enter Mansions which have no compeer ; He shall bid them dwell for ever In those regions bright and fair. Oh, my brothers ! oh, my sisters ! Will you pray to mccc me there ? " Short shall be the separation ; And though thorny be the way Leading up to life eternal And the realms of endless day, It shall end in joy for ever — All shall there be bright and fair. Darling father, mother, brothers, sisters, Strive, oh strive to meet me there 1"
