When we consider the present and the
future it seems to us such little way to
that strange country" which we call
1.-THE beyond" that we can almost see its
cleaning strand. Were our eyes not
yelled. we might see heaven round about
us Why fear when from this earth we
journey aero the marrow slip of sea-
to the other shore, where we will meet
the loved ones, grown more precious,
more beautiful than when we saw them
here? Why not say, Zone more to wei
come us" when we cross the intervening
space between the present and the fu.
ture!
