RECOLLECTIONS

OF A

BELOVED MOTHER:

BY

EVERILDA ANNE GARDINER.

"Father! in Christ we live, and Christ in Thee;
Eternal Thou, and everlasting we.

The heir of Heaven, henceforth I fear not Death:

In Christ I live-in Christ I draw the breath

Of the true Life!

Is that a death-bed, where a Christian lies?

Yes-but not his; 'tis Death itself there dies."

Coleridge.
