Mr.. Stowell had no more anxiety
about the future than he had about
the present. The Fathers house
and the many mansions were most
as real TO him as his own earthly
dwelling. He rested every day up
on the divine promises without a
shadow of misgiving or fear. God
gave him "songs in the night" In
the long weakness and WEAKNESS
which preceded his death one felt
like the disciples on the mount
that IL was good to be there, for the
atmosphere of that sick room was
invigorating to the soul. Such a
life and such a death are not nat
ural inheritance; they are alone the
gift of God through Christ all of
grace. And so our friend waited
for the end with longing desire that
he might cast his crown at Jesus
feet and ascribe all the glory of his
salvation unto the Lamb that was

pain continually in back and sides
