Excerpt from Seven Years Among the Freedmen
Above is a picture of a teacher, a graduate of one of the colleges of Michigan. She used to say the freedmen work was her husband arid children. She has just passed to her reward in heaven. The following lines are affectionately inscribed to her by the author of this book, her associate teacher for two years:
Gone to Canaan, entered in.
Freed from every snare and sin,
We on this side Jordan's shore
See thy friendly face no more.
No more talks about our Lord
No more searchings of his word,
No more longings for his grace,
She hath seen him face to face.
Finished all the teaching years,
Finished all the prayers and tears,
Sword, and shield, and helmet on,
Gone to Canaan, for the crown.
All her toils on earth are done,
Through the cross the victory won.
She the golden streets hath trod,
Gone to Canaan, gone to God.
