And thus Death is not really so much the
summoning of those who die to a new life
in celestial realm, as 1t is the summoning
of those who live to new life In this
earthly realm. On them now descends the
mantle Of an old generation. On them now
falls the stress ana crisis of battle 1t is
for them to show that the labor that has
toiled so long. the love that protected them
in childhood, the opportunities that now
fall to them, have not been wasted, mis-
spent, aad turned to no account. They
whom We lay in the ground are still for a
time as much with US II they were sim
ply gone on journey, or were asleep In
their bed at home. We see them not, ex-
cept in thought. We hear them not, ex-
cept in memory. We take counsel of them
only. by recalling their warnings and their
qualities. But In q spiritual sense they are
with Us still; they are in us still; they can
strengthen our hearts and inspire our en-
ergies. And IL they die like the grass that
Is cut by the mower-it Is We and our hard
ness and unkindness that are guilty Of
their second death.
