Beatrice B. Jones
In Memoriam ~ Beatrice, the baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones, was born April 18, 1912, and died November 19, 1913, with that awful disease Scarlatina.
All was done that loving and faithful hands could do but in spite of all this the wicked disease worked its way and death came and relieved her of all her suffering for evermore.
Little Beatrice was sick only a few short days. Though the days were few oh how she did suffer until the blessed Lord called her from this old world of wicked sorrow and trouble to that bright home above where her sweet little soul shall know no sorrow.
Grieve not, dear parents, as those who have no hope for loss is Heaven's gain. We know by the blessed word of God that our sweet baby is at rest and that she was only budded on earth to bloom among the purest in Heaven.
How sad it was to see that sweet little sister, so small, to understand, begging mama not to let them take her baby off. Oh, how that did crush the poor little mother's heart. No one knows except those who have drank from sorrow's same sad cup.
We know it is hard to give up those we love so well but we must remember that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for us, and in our grief we must look to Him who doeth all things well, so try, though your heart be broken, to be submissive to His will. Sometimes we think there was something else that might have saved her, but had it not been God's will to take her He would have spared her life. So, look not to yourselves or earthly friends for comfort but to God, who has said I will not leave you comfortless.
Oh, what a sweet consolation for us to know that if we do the will of our Lord some sweet day we will meet little Beatrice in that heavenly home where sickness and death can never enter.
Weep no dear father and mother for your baby is not dead, but asleep in Jesus where none ever awakens to weep. One precious to our heart is gone, a voice we loved is still, and a place is vacant in that home which never can be filled.
