Fix this textIn Brief.
Fix this textTHE HOMELAND.
Fix this textLife changes all our thoughts of heaven :
Fix this textAt first we think of streets of gold.
Fix this textOf gates of pearl, and dazzling light,
Fix this textOf shining wings and robes of white,*
Fix this textAnd things all strange to mortal
Fix this textBut in the afterwards of years
Fix this textIt is a more familiar place—
Fix this textA home unhurt by sighs or tears.
Fix this textWhere waiteth many a well-known face.
Fix this textWith passing months it comes more near,
Fix this textIt grows more real day by day.
Fix this textNot strange, or cold, but very dear
Fix this textThe glad homeland, not far away,
Fix this textWhere none are sick, or poor, or long;
Fix this textThe place where we shall find our own.
Fix this textAnd as we think of all we knew,
Fix this textWho there have met to part no more,
Fix this textOur longing hearts desire home too,
Fix this textWith all the strife and longing o’er.

Fix this textWe regret to say that Mrs. Edwards is not able
Fix this textto continue in the work of the A.A.M., solely for

Fix this textMrs Edwards has won our esteem bv her de-

Fix this textmuch the fact that she is unable to continue, but
Fix this textwe trust to still have fellowship iu prayer for the

Fix this textones, Mrs. Preston, in the meantime, staying at
Fix this textLa Perouse, assisting Miss Baker.
