A Tribute to the
Memory of Mrs. Maude H. Collins
|
|
On Tuesday morning, September 6, a sweet
and beautiful soul fell asleep, to awake in the dawn that shall
always be morning. Though in failing health and strength for
some months past, she still sent greetings to friends and loved
ones, and it was her joy to comfort ones bowed down by sorrow with
her reassuring words of faith and hope.
Though advanced in years, she was
every youthful in spirit. We are told that, when she felt that
the Death Angel was near, she was wholly resigned and said to
faithful attendants, "not my will, but Thine be
done." She was descended from one of the most ancient and
illustrious family lines in English history. The
"Hasting" genealogy is faithfully recorded and verified by
authenticity. She was a talented musician and it is a joy and
inspiration to remember that her God-given talent was used for His
glory. For many years she served as Baptist church organist
and sang special solos at funerals. Her beautiful voice had
that rare and wonderful quality, the power and charm of lyric
sweetness.
Those who heard her sing, "I'm a
Pilgrim", and "A Dream" felt the spirit uplifted by
the magical power of song; for, this is one of God's fairest gifts
to man. Jenny Lind, the 'Sweedish Nightengale', said, "I
seem to draw people nearer to God when I sing".
The mortal part will turn to dust
again, but, when the spirit has loved, eternally enfolds us.
Our loved one has gone to the land of no farewells, to join the
'Choir Invisible', whose music is the gladness of the world, and
when life's last twilight falls, and a loving Savior calls, may all
have her beautiful spirit of resignation.
One who loved her, and whom she loved
- Sallie Demaree Petty.
