IN Farewell foEevs. from this vale Of tears,
The future ah, for him 1t has 10 fears.
We are taught tor believe that in this
bright and glorieus hereafter We shall fin
rest-s sweet and peaceful rect, freed fror
all life's trials-sorrow, sickness and death
Doubtless it 10 this which prompts 80 man,
to seek, unsummoned, that better land, il
the vain hope Of finding peace and res
from the tolls and snsres Of this sinfu
world. The Creator has placed ms on eartl
for some wise. and good purpose, and if ",
guido our heart Alright, strive in all things
TO do His will, we shall never be led astray
never be tempted to do sught thar would
blot our name from the book of life. For
saken, bereft Of Ill hope, We deem our trials
burden too heavy to be borne, and, turn.
ing from them in dark despair, We close
our heart, the evil spirit conquere, and We
are lost to this world forever. trust that
God, in his goodness, may be more merciful
than man; that his judgment will be light
upon the aching hearts who, weary of the
strife, seek an untimely end.
The waves rolled mountsin high
The tempest DER; and al was still.
That all shall be held accountable for
the deeds done in the body, most firmly
believe; and he who taketh his life will
surely suffer punishment in the life to come.
Affections may surround us; friends, loved
ones forsake us; all that We deemed good
and noble perish; will this justify you in
taking your lifes All! NO. How many thou
sands Of Gods creatures must suffer the
pangs Of hunger; poor, starving in the very
midst Of opulence; telling night and day
fer mere pittance, while, at times, even
this is denied them; their life is but daily
burden; yet, they still live. Others stricken
by the hand of death lose all that is dear to
them on earth, left to struggle alone with
the swift rushing tide of humanity that
bears them on, forever on. They,
too, suffer and live. Drawn nearer
to God by sore Affections, we look up
ward, trusting in His promise, Come all
We that are weary and heavy laden, and |
will give you rest" Relying on Ills word,
we learn to bear with meekness the trials Of |!
Life and await our reward in Paradise. Be |
not hassy ye who deem yourselves forsaken.
Life is not always sunshine. Clouds will |
sometimes obscure the light and leave you
n darkness. Be brave and firm; strive to
weather the storm though the waves be
high. Believe me, you will con-
luer in the end and be saved from commit
ing crime wrong and sinful, both in the
I'VE of God and man. He who has created
u things will in His own good time call us
renee. 1t is not for ne fellow.mortsls to
nurmur or repine because our hopes have
een blighted or our loved ones taken from
$. We must walk in the path marked out
Or all, and trust to kind Providence 70 lead

In the world We shall have tribulation but be of
good cheer"
This life's sad trials, which to us are given.
