“Come Through, and Bring the Children With You.”
By M. A. Gaskill
THE readers of the REVIEW will remember this beautiful expression, coming from the lips of the dying wife and mother. And especially to those who are hopefully looking forward to the time when they shall again embrace their sleeping loved ones, does the force of these words come home to the heart. How many are there among us who cherish the fond desire of meeting those taken away from us by death? While going through, it is our only hope. Exquisite thought that yet there is room. To that father and children I would say, Let those words live in your hearts, and the thought of “mutual recognition,” when the battle is over, help you to live for Him who has trod the way before us, and “returned from the war.” M. A. GASKILL.
