Have you amy appreciation of the good and
glorious times your friends are having ln
heavenY How different it a. when they get
nows there OF Christians death from what
Il is here! II Is tho difference between om-
barkntlon and coming into port. Everything
depends upon which side of the river you
stand when you hear OF Christians death.
IN you stand on this side OF the river YOU
mourn that they 60. NJ you stand on tho
other side OF the river, you rejoice that they
come. On the difference between funeral

I never more appreciated that thought
tina when we laid away ia her last slumber
my sister Sarah. Standing there In the vile
lage cemetery 1 looked around and said.
"Ihete is father. there Is mother, there Is
grandfather, there Is grandmother, there are
whole circles OF kindred, and / thought TO
myself, Together IN the grave-together
in glory / am 80 impressed with the
thought that / do not think It Is any ianat-
cism when some one Is going from this
world 70 tho next IL you make them the
bearer Of dispatches 10 your friends who are
gone, saying, "GlYe my love 10 my parents.
give my love 70 my children, give my
love 10 my old comrades who are ia glory.
and tell them l am trying TO fight the good
fight OF faith and 1 win join them after
awhile" 1 believe the message will be de-
| livered, and / believe It will increase the
| gladness OF those who are before the throne
/ Together are they, all their tears gone.
My friends, take this good cheer home
/ with you. These tears Of bereavement that
course your cheek, and Of persecution, and
| OF trial, are not always to be there. Tn,
! motherly hand OF God will wipe them al
away. What Is the use, on tho way to sucl
/ a commandments Ia the use OF frettinl
about anythingl Oh, what an exhilaratiol
| II ought to be in Christian work! See yor
/ the pinnacles against the SKYE Il is the city
| Of our God, and we are approaching IL. Oh
let US be busy in the days that remain for Us
! 1 put this balsam on the wounds OF you
heart. Rejoice at the thought Of what you
departed friends have got rid Of, and tina
you have prospect Of soon making you
tears, and exult at the thought that soon
Is TO be ended.
There we shall march up the heavenly stree
And ground our arms ut Jesus's feet.
