THEY ARE Passive AWAY" They
are passing away" Amid the busy scenes
OF life we are often made to realize the
shortness OF this existence, by being called
to part with some dear friend To-day, we
see circle of friends in perfect health
only thought is for this world, and the
happiness in store for them. But alas
their hopes are vain. Tomorrow, death
that silent messenger; enters that happy
circle, and one of their NUMBER with high
hopes and expectations, is cut down, to be
seen upon earth no more. Look upon that
happy family, now seated around the home
firoside; they know not the meaning of the
words Z" care and sorrow" will it ever be
tlps? Again VIC visit them; but now they
gaze in mute despair on the inanimate form
of their darling. Death has visited that
family, and taken the flower of the house
hold, and the youngest form in that little
flock. Surely now they must truly realize
the force of that short SENTENCE They
are passing away"
Come with me to the death bed of the
Christian. His family arc gathered around
him, and are listening for the last time to
his words of instruction! Uark he is i'm
ploring them to put no value on the hecting
things Of this world, but place their trust
on high. He, too, has passed away, and as
his friends gather around his grave, and
hear those solemn words, MmGle ashes
with ashes, and dust with its original dust,
they feel in their utmost souls the socnni-
ty of this truth, "Thcy are passing away"
