rors is world wide. Other kings
reign briefly and die. But death
has waved his ebon seeptre ever
since Abel led the noble army of
martyrs to the skies. Restless in
his energies he is a stranger to re-
pose. Invisible he approaches us
with noiseless tread and strikes the
blow. No fortress is strong enough
to bar him out No palace is above
his visitation nor is any howell
beneath it. Christ is the solitary
sovereign who has conquered death
BY his resurrection victory he has
tranShgured death into the guardian
angel who stands, with key Of gold
at the gates Of the celestial city. for
the introductfn Of Gods dear chill
dren. To enter that fair metropolis
we must possess more than popular
morality, more than an orthodox chris
tian faith; more than church member
ship. On foundation of a true pen
itence for sin blended with strong
faith in the divine Redeemer, we
must win PARDON spiritual purity,
and that continuous and progressive
trend OF the will and affections that

that he had made the splendid moral
achievement On last Saturday morn

fully and beautifully as goes down the
sun at evening time amidst the silent
benedictions Of nature He Is not
the loser by the event that ended his
months OF unmurmuring and patient
suffering. A bereayed mother and
brother, and a large circle of friends
and relatives, have lost for a little
while only, one they loved. But the

as unbroken mental repose is prefer.

as freedom from temptation is more
desirable than exposure to its shafts,
in SO far as perfect knowledge is SUI
perior to imperfect Information, in so
far as seeing Christ face TO face is
more rapturous than beholding him
amidst an environment of shadows.
this dear young man is the victor OF
his translation.
MAY the bereaved family lean their
hearts on the consultations of the prec-
ious gospel. When he was ON the
earth Jesus pledged himself not TO
leave his friends without his spiritual
presence and strength amidst the va
ried and numerous sorrows Of life. A
hundred brilliant promises sparkle In
the sacred oracles assuring this family
OF the divine sympathy and support.
Then look up bravely and in faith to-

"fhough to-day we're filled with mourning
Mercy still is on the throne,
With Gods smile of love returning
We will sing "Thy will be done"

Evermore "Thy will be done.
