others, were
sHIPwRECKED AT SEA.
The father and the son climbed into the
rigging. The father held on, but the son
after awhile lost his hold in the rigging and
was dashed down. The father supposed
he had gone hopelesSly under the wave.
The next day the father was brought
ashore from the rigging in an exhausted
state and laid on a bed in a fisherman's
hut. and after many hours had passed he
came to consciousness, and saw lying be-
side him, on the same bed, his boy. Oh.
my friends. what a glorious thing it will
be TO wake up at last to find our loved ones
beside us! Coming up from the same plot
in the same graveyard, coming up in the
morning light-the father and son alive
forever, all the loved ones alive forever, never
more TO weep, nevermOre to part, nevermOre
to die. May the God of peace that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesus. that
great Shepherd of the sheep, through the
blood of the everlasting covenant make you
perfect in every good work, to do His will;
and let that brilliant scene of the morning
transport our thoughts to the grander as
semblage before the throne. This august
assemblage is nothing compared with it
the one hundred and forty and four thous-
and and the great multitude that no man
can number" some of our best friends
among them, we, after while, to join the
multitude. Blessed anticipation
