Death also makes room for improved

world, which tho human race takes for
it's own, there are creatures of God that
can far surpass us in some things. DEATH
removes this slower and less adroit ma
chinery and makes room for something
better.
These eyes that can see Ealf mile
will be removed for those that cen sec

can hear sound a few feet off, will be

zone to zone. These feet Will bo removed

half try whom he contriyed your bodily

all anatonlists and all Psychologists and
with allscientists and with the psalmist
that I'VE are fearfully and wonderfully
made. But I believe and know that
God can and will yet us better physical

You see God has only just begun to
build you. The palace of your nature
has only tho foundation laid, and part
of tho lower story, and only part Of one
window, but the Great Architect has
made his draft OF what you will be when
the Alha.nbra is completed. John was

Aud who hns not all his lifo run against

If men would go high up they ascend

ported as they camo tumbling down.
Or if they went down too far, bark to
