A STORM.

There S shade on the lamps of Heaven,
And the banner of storm is unfurl'd.
And the clouds by the winds are driven
Across the dark dome of the world,
But soon the pale cheek of the dawning
Will blush with the kiss of the sun,
And the lips of a fair young morning
Will laugh when the long night is done.
See! the clouds are all drifting asunder,
And the lightningS are dying afar.
Whilst in the black track of the thunder
Shines the mornings bright harbinger
star.
And the sky, how it reddens and bushes,
AS Aurora awakeS at the lay
OF the linnetS, the larkS and the thruSheS
That sing in the meadow at day.
And so. when our hearts are in sorrow.
And our grief seems too heavy to bear.
Let us look for brighter tomorrow,
And defy the dark demon Despair.
Though the lightnings of midnight are
flashing,
Let us hope that the day yet unborn
Will follow the clouds and the crashing
With the calm of a radiant morn.

they are planting the acorn how great

company of London merchants, excited
by the glowing accounts of one Stevens,
of the marvellous wealth of the Indian
peninsula, obtained an exclusive trad
ing charter from Queen Elizabeth.
They made few ventures and found
the profits so enormous that they es-
tablished a trading post at Surat in 1913.
This was the acorn that added 25O,O00-
600 subjects to the British empire. But
its growth was no mushroom evolution

What is death? The death of the
body is the birth of the soul, it having
existed in embryo only while in the
body. What follows? Eternal felicity,
or eternal misery, the degrees of which
are in proportion to the respective de-
serts of each, for, "As the tree falleth,
so it lieth.' S. w.

to fulfill the law of nature. Beyond, y
is the impression and effect our lives
have had or may have upon the
people of this world with whom we have
come in contact, whether to make them
better or worse Man will not sit in

We may assuredly gain some light
on the the subject of Death and Beyond
by observing the lives of individuals
who believe it is endless sleep. No be-
lever in God believes in endless sleep.
He knows that death will usher him in
to the presence of his Maker To him it
is going home. TO what? To judg-
ment of his actions; and, if proven
worthy. to blissful immortality. Death
will eradicate the last taint and set it
free from all possibility of again COM
mitting sin. The literal translation of
Jesus words to Martha that anyone
living and believing in me, shall not
die in eternity" would imply that there
was both life and death in the here
after A. B. NJ.
Death and beyond, how queer it
out of possible thousand who thinks
that upon his exit from this world he
will be gently carried to an eternal
home beyond. l am forced to admit
that of the great beyond know moth
ing Nor in fact does anyone. When
we pause to estimate the value of re-
ligiOuS belief to mankind it is almost
impossible to calculate. We know that
religion has lifted man from the depths
of barbariSm to its present stage. With
the great beyond as it's goal, true re-
ligiOn will keep right on converting
souls and doing its share towards ele-
waiting mankind. RAY.
The scriptures speak Of two kinds of
death 1. e., temporal and eternal. In the
original the one means transition. the
other means "death in eternity Believ-
ing the scriptures, we can get glimpses
beyond the grave. Temporal life cor
rectly translated from the original text
means "God breathed," which comedies
with the descriptions given in Genesis
of mans creation. When God recalls
that breath from the earthly body it
perishes-the house becomes uninhab-
ited-the spirit returns to the source
whence it came. There it is weighed in
the balance, and if found wanting it is
condemned to toll, suffer and sorrow in
its spiritual condition; but, perhaps,
being found unworthy of spiritual indi-

brOWS crowned with the laurelS of hon
or, wealth and fame; others may find
the path leading through rocky and
humble regions. or their names may be
disgrace to society, but they all reach
the grave. The dust of the mighty mon
arch, of the millionaire and of the beg
ger must all become part of the earth.
Death is dreaded by nearly all mankind,
by the worldly especially. But to the
true Christians death means the begin
ming of all happiness, the beginning of
a new life in that happy land where
angelic mother, father, brother, sister
or friend who died long ago will greet
their loved ones beyond the river of
death around the throne of our heav-
enly Father. r. T.

The orthodox version of Heaven is
SO chimerlcal, that a reasoning mind
will not be enticed into believing. The
prOfeSSed existence of this fanciful
realm of bliss is what drives thinkers
to investigation which ends in infidelity.
| would rather become fixed resident
of Hades, than victim of mOnotonous
would be greater torture than slow
tOrturing fire. In He'll each new pain
would in time become pleasing di-
version. On the other hand the mOnOtO-
nous existance in Heaven, would soon
turn the most patient spirit into an i'm
beetle. When l die l wish to lie undis-
turbed, in some secluded nook far from
the haunts of those hypOcritical bipeds
that have profaned the beautiful earth
with selfish mockery. If Gabriel ever
sounds his trumpet, let the recording
angel go and tell his Master, that there
is one who despiSes the cant Of hypOc-
risy and who begs leave TO Siumber in
the endless silence of fOrgetfulness.
&C.
| believe that a surprise is awaiting
us all concerning the nature and signi-
ficance of the spirit-land which we will
enter at death. 1t seems from consid-
Grafton of the hints given in Gods word
that, after we pass beyond the veil, one
of the first thoughts will be chow much
after all is this not like the life we lived
on earth?" The perplexities, the anxi-
etieS, the distress, the uncertainties will
all have passed away. But the same
mind will be active, the same thoughts,
purified from sin, will recur. We will
live in the past of time as much as in
eternity, into which we will then come.
Every holy association formed on earth
will be doubly dear When we reach
the great beyond we will look back up
on earth and know all that is going on
there. We will not be so absorbed in
the contemplation of the heavenly mys-
teries that will then be revealed as to
lose interest in our old home and those
who succeed us as it's tenants. We will
be all the more deeply interested in the
progress of the kingom of God on earth
and the conflict between God and Satan
because we will know so much more
concerning what is involved in that
struggle. We will be astOnished at
our own indifference to it whilst living
in the midst of it. We will wonder how
men can depreciate the Importance of
what occurs on earth by the thought
that, after all, life on earth is brief and
eternity is everything. A. A. w.
