what it is, though not suddenly and by

easy to say that we must bear up under
affections, and not give way to excessive
grief, but it is altogether another thing
to do so. And generally those who are
the most ready to advise know the least
about what advice is, needed, or what, it
is to carry any advice into execution

prompting advice, are not; without their
uses. And when accompanied with only

If man die shall he live again? Yes,
most assuredly, What are the evidences
of it? To US they are inany-alihost innu-
merable-but we shall give bub one at pre-
sent. Everything has its use And every
thing is adapted to something else.a The
eye is adapted to light and light is adapted
to give sight to the eye. The ear is adapt
ed receive the vibrations of air, and the
air is adapted to give sound to the ear.
Man is constituted with feelings, affec-
tons and desires. AS light and air are
adapted to the eye and ear so there are
like adaptions to the feelings, affections
r
and desires of the heart. Man desires
that friend near and dear to him should
live again. He desires to live again him
self And there is an adoption for the
qualification of every. .legitamate feeling,
affection and desire of the heart The
desire to live again will be gratifed OF
else the Infinite has made mistake in
giving the desire for future life without
making provision for it's qualification.
And the Infinite mrkes no mistakes. He,
who doeth all things we'll, has done well
in giving man the desire for, future life
and in making provision fort the gratifi
cation of the desire And man who dies,
will surely live again. And man desires
better life in the future than the pres
ent life. And the desire is proof that the
Infinite, who has given the desire and
makes no mistakes, has provided for a
better life In the future than the present.
And we rely upon the Goodness, and the
Power, and the Wisdom, and the Justice,
of the Infinite to do all things we'll and
right.
