Mourning a Son in Hope

By Julia A. Gifford

From Sr. Gifford.
DEAR FRIENDS: It is with a very sad heart that I write a few lines to you. I have just buried my son, 16 years of age. But I do not sorrow as those that have no hope. “The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away, and blessed be the name of the Lord.” He was sick 15 days with the typhoid fever. After a painful sickness he sank to sleep in Jesus. Praise his holy name! If it was not for that hope, how could I bear my affliction? I ask the prayers of the church.
