Rachel Oppert, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Oppert, died at the
home of her parents, Aug. 29th, 1902. She was a lovely child, the pet in the
home, the pride of a father's life and joy of a mother's heart. We cannot
bring her back again, but we can go to her. She is "not dead, but sleepeth."
"Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care, The
opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there." If sympathy,
love, medical skill and fervent prayer could have averted the blow, then it
had been otherwise; but God knows best, and we bow in stricken grief to His
righteous will. In His Word we find our comfort: "What I do thou knowest not
now, but then shalt know hereafter." "For one light affliction, which is but
for a moment, worked for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory." "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him, wherefore comfort one another
with these words." Dear sorrowing parents, remember that the same Father who
sent this trouble has said, "Lay up treasures in Heaven, where thieves do
not break through and steal," and this-the Father "doeth all things well."
You had given your child to God, and now let her little hand be the means of
drawing you each (and I hope many others) near to the Creator. "Not now, but
in the coming years-It may be in the better land--We'll read the meaning of
our tears, And then, some time, we'll understand. "We'll know why clouds
instead of sun. Were over many a cherished plane; Why song has ceased when
scarce begun; Then, some time, we'll understand." (A Friend)(Cedartown
