The last words Mother Mounts spoke was, " I want rest, rest," and she fell asleep in that blessed hope of rest in her Heavenly Home in that House of Many Mansions, where all the true and faithful ones are enjoying the rest she so much longed for. Our Heavenly Father says in My House are Many Mansions, if the were not so, I would not have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also."
