 Shall VIC stand in this large place Shall Nc share pauT5 faith in a stinglcs: death. Brave old soldier of the cross
 II am ready to be offered, and the time
 of my departure is at hand l have l fought good fight, I have finished my
 course, have kept the faith. Hence

 Occupying this ground, then, ring ingIy assert that death is blessing, fol
 it is part of cur Lords plans from tho i first. The God oI the universe never in tended man to stay on earth. This world
 IS not the goal of regenerate aspiration
 the wants of man can be supplied only 1T state transcendiDg the boundaries 0l time and space. The material world get: cold, dark, heavy. We carry here { frame, fretful and Wcarisome. Tint whole material realm is too circum scribcd for human soul, not rich apC varied enough to meet the desires of { hurgering spiritual nature, Jesus, not in tending to enclose us here where wall! contract, went ahead to prepare large place. This is not our real home. The ] IcorBoreal organism is the swatIing clothi ! in which he wraps us. As cruel were i

Whence fol [ lows the necessity of immortal lif which stretches upward into superna being, higher and nobler than we cal ] comprehend, The brightest picture o Heaven can no more represent God home than a portrait of your friend cal
 tell a stranger of his devoted love, or th,

 The dissolution of the natural hod1 bIesses the child of immortality, becaus
 it is a provision of the Divine laws ant
 wisdom.
 DEATH IS AN EPOCH IN THE SPIRITS ON
 WARD PROGRESS.
 It is more beautiful, orderly, grand, thal
 mans birth into nature. Those Wh
 have preceded the lamented wife ant
 friend, are welcoming her with ministra
 tion kind and hearts filled with healthfu impulse, and rendering in the freedom c love every service which truth suggests Yes, the death of organized matter meet with Divine approval. What men hay called the dark valley and grouped wit dark distresses reflects the joy of God ; reassuring smile.
