Edition Description: New York Weekly edition (page 7 in New York Weekly, v. XXIII, no. 24, April 30, 1868):
Note.-A short time since the author listened to an interesting discourse by a Methodist preacher, in which he related the following touching incident : A mother, who was preparing some flour to bake into bread, left it for a few moments, when little Mary-with childish curiosity to see what it was-took hold of the dish, which fell to the floor, spilling the contents. The mother struck the child a severe blow, saying, with anger, "that she was always in the way!" Two weeks after little Mary sickened and died! On her death-bed, while delirious, she asked her mother if there would be room for among the angels! "I was always in your way, mother, you had no room for little Mary! And will I be in the angels' way? Will they have no room for me?" The broken-hearted mother then felt no sacrifice too great could she have saved her child!
First Sentence: Is there room among the angels, For the spirit of your child? (New York Weekly edition)
