Let as look forward and upward. Our
house is not here. Life broken off is not |
finished; 1t stretches forward. We take |
not our outward possessions with MS, but |
we take those more enduring and far |
more personal belongings, the characters |
we have won, the virtues of nature or the |
fruits of grace which are of the very sub
stance of our being. And we carry them
into His presence, who, for the sake of the
great love wherewith He loved US, pardons
all our sins and grants us a place in the
home of the redeemed forever. There
will the hallowed associations of life be re-
sumed. There will friends who have gone
before be reunited.
"And they shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more, neither shsll the sun light
upon them, nor any heat. For the
Lamb that is in the midst of the throne
shall feed them and shsll lead them unto
living fountains of waters; and God shall
| wipe away all tears from their eyes"
