Rev. E. G. Mitchell spoke briefly upon
the mastery of death. He spoke of the
divine love Of the Heavenly Father.

saying the time of mans allotted life
was short, and soon they should all be
with their brother, who lay before

vine sleep. He had merely passed into
| the heavenly kingdom and joined the
heavenly host, and was still with them
| in spirit.
