“Of Such Is The Kingdom Of Heaven”a true incidentMy baby has now gone to Heaven,And I must not grieve any more,Our Father in Heaven has taken,My treasure to the Blessed Shore.Sternly the minister answered,The child that you bore is now dead,You neglected the Churches Baptism,With sin and with shame on your head.Your son has now gone to the Devil,To that Hell where the souls never die,But with fire and with pain never endingDon’t ask where the consequence lie.If that be your God, cried the mother,He will not be a God unto me,I will not worship this being,A Christian I never will be.But her sorrow and fear never left her,At night, with the house hushed in sleep,She would picture the form of her darling,And with horror and grief would she weep.Young men, serving God on your Mission,Bring her the peace God has given,Tell these their darlings are happy,For “Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”Eva M.
