No need of the sunlight in Heaven we’re told Stebbins, composer of the music of 22 hymns at Reminiscences and Gospel Hymn Stories by George C. Bliss at the conclusion of the meetings at Peoria, went to their children to spend the holidays, and on their way back to Chicago, a few days later, they met their tragic death at Ashtabula, Ohio. This proved to be the last time I saw him, for he and Mrs. Bliss, "Don't disturb him." She replied: "Oh, yes! He would be disappointed if he did not say goodbye." as he wakened and realized I was leaving, he followed me onto the platform with kindest wishes and parting words. He was still sleeping when my destination was reached. Bliss fell asleep, with his head resting on his wife's shoulder. Bliss were reminded of their 2 boys in the home of friends in Rome, Pennsylvania, and tears came to their eyes.Īfter leaving Chicago, Mr. Stebbins and our son, then a small boy, Mr. Bliss waiting for the train I was to take. On entering the railway station on my way to this 2nd appointment, I found Mr. Needham in his work in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and later, with Charles Inglis of England, I was sent to one of the smaller churches of South Chicago.
