of the deceased: of his regular attend
ance at Sunday school as boy; Of his
strong moral character as a man. The

those bereaved, for he told them to
look above, where the Lord had taken

temple. and the time would not be long
until they would behold the beautiful
and themselves fill inches in
the temple Of God. The words were
beautiful. for the subject was beautiful.
