It becomes my painful duty to report the death of Willie, son of Tinie and Samuel Baldwin; aged six years, one month and nine days. Little Willie was a promising child, of a sweet and loving dis position, always trying to make his playmates happy, self-denial was a pleasure to him, could he but increase anothers, happiness, self was for gotten; his suffering was intense but the little fellow was patient through all until the wings of the dark angel closed over him at two o'clock Sunday evening July 11th. Loving arms strove to hold him back, but Our Father hath need of him. He called and little Willie has crossed over the river to the loving arms of our Saviour and white robed kindred, on the other shore.
Thou will never be tired my darling;
The burdens we must bear.
Our weary hands can scarce up hold;
The crosses we must bear.
Oft makes us stoop a near the earth,
Until perforce we weep,
And pray our Father for the night
When "He giveth His loved ones sleep.
But tender arms did bear thee up,
Or even thou hadst desired,
And the rest of Heaven is thine for aye--
Thou wilt never, never be tired.
Thou never wilt die, my darling;
Thou never hadst learned to fear
The dark, dark vale at the end of the way
That waiteth us pilgrims here;
Thou knewest naught of the waters cold,
The dangers and dread alarms,
Thou didst not walk thro' the valley and shade,
For "He taketh the lambs in His arms;
He beareth them safe from the love of earth
To the love of their home on high—
The love that is light and life for aye—
Thou never, never will die."
