Mccormick offered prayer
After reading a Bible lesson Mr. Nc
| Cormick spoke eloquently and feelingly.
| He said he did not have much to say of
the dead. His record is made, and he is
alone with God He would speak TO the
living, and of these calls God is making
tc US. Four times il three weeks he had
performed this service over the dead
over the young and the old-the aged,
the mother of six children, and now it is
| the young man and as he had just begun
| to live he is called hence.
God calls rs to set house in order,
| for we know not who will be called next.
! Therefore, be ye also ready: for in such
an hour ye think not the of man
| cometh.''
If there was one thing greater than an
other it is the uudertone of sorrow which
all meet. 1t is so described in the Bible.
/ T of oil =
sorrow.
There is a great multitude of people in
Heaven, because II greater number die in
| infancy without sin; and those who stand
before Christ with their sins forgiven.
There is multitude i'll Heaven before
God whom no man can number.
Mr. Mccormick spoke of the narrow
ness and prejudice of people who believe
they have the only salvation. But the
love of God is broader than the measure
of mankind. God holds us to be char1ta-
BILE and to expand our views.
Heaven is like our earthly home with
sin eradicated, and then we shall meet
the redeemed by different routes.
Mr.. Mccormick gave some words OF
comfort to the sorrowing family and rel
atives.
