TO DIE Is GAIN.
Rev. {. IL. strOng's sermon Upon
Death at st. Johns.


Rev. c. II. Strong delivered the first of
his series Of Sunday night sermons on the
-Four Last Things. Death. Judgment
Heaven ana He'll" at 81. Johns last night
TO die is gain" was the text and this
was the thought which ran throughout
the sermon The ever present fear Of
death was first considered. Across the
span of ases is flung the dark shadow of
death. said Mr.. Strong. The emotions
with which mon regard the approach OF
death and che degree Of dread which at
reefs them according as death comes TO
them IN the prime of manhood or in the
decay OF old age, were discussed. While
he world may seem hard and harsh at
times said Mr. Strong, the world is fun
Of beauties and attractions which grow
upon us. one of the elements of the dread
OF death is that We are called upon to quit
the world Life is rich to every man who
lives II We'll and one of the sad things of
death Is that we are called upon to
leave it.
1t was not his intention. Mr.. Strong said
TO dwell upon the darkness of death; but
pom the many things which brighten this
darkness. The mCn who wrote me books
of the Bible evidently gave much consider
alton to this subject. There are many
expressions to be found in the Bible
e'ANN4AiS hNdti was ItEafueu Otherwise
than with dread. To die is gain, says
the apostle.
The idea of gaining by death was elab-
GRATED at some length, a comparison being
instituted with the animal kingdom where
there is a constant progress from the low
er to the higher forms of life which Is on
~ made possible by the death of the lower
forms. This truth holds good in the hui
man heart The life that lives without dy-
ing to itself dies In death Is life The
cross of Christ is always the symbol Of
death, and in taking up this cross self
must die.
Consolation may be found even in the
thought of death Death is the end of
temptation, the end of the power Of sin.
1t brings us to better measure Of & Oh
IL is difficult to live up to our ideals but
the struggle ends at death. 1t brings us
to the paradise of God and 10 the light
of Christ, where we may see him and be
like Him, be pure as He is pure. and per-
feet as He is perfect Personal trust in
Christ brings us to the point where death
loses it's terror.
