COWFOR TING WORDS TO BE
REAVED ONES.
BY F. e. sTuReEs, BETHEL, CONN.

Saddened by grief and sorrow 1 bow
to the will of God. His love is 80 great,
SO bOuntiful to all that not even 3 lit
tie sparrow falleth to the ground with
out His notice. How much more then
must His truly great love be to those
who are called to bear the deep grief;
who witnesseth dear sister, q loving
mother and most affectionate daugh-
ter taken from their midst, no longer
to share the comforts and joys Of the
home fireside. No! she has gone to
God, in His Wise Providence, sum-
moned her to mansions where pain,
sickness aud death never come, but
where peace, Joy and comfort forever
dwell. Jesus said, II go to prepare
place for you, and II go and prepare
place for you will come again and re-
celve you unto myself, that where l
am there ye may be Also" Your Sis
ter now is with the blessed Jesus. He
prepared q mansion for her. Her spir-
1t is here; the spirit of God dwelleth
in her, and God is here. Her spirit
has not departed from you. There is
but one spirit, lone Cod and Gods
Spirit is the spirit Of every earthly
likeness of God. Our Spirits are ever
the same, whether we be separated
from the body or not. Thoughts will
come into your mind of your sister, to
which your thoughts will respond;
here you and your sister are together
by the cord of Spiritual vision. God
in His goodness has thus connected
our Spirits that manifested love In
the nearness of Christ. We are all
blind to the nearnesS of the Christ,
but we are too mentally blind to rec
ognize the fact that He Is an Omni-
present principle. We voluntarily
tarily return. Your sister is not dead,
but sleepeth. Jesus did not recognize
death, when others insisted that Jair-
u.s. daughter was dead. Notwith-
standing their contradictory reason
ing, even after they had laughed Him
to scorn, Jesus demonstrated the
truthfulness of His declaration. His
command, "Damsel. I say unto thee,
arise!" aroused her from the lethargy
into which she had fallen. Jesus once
said: "Whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die" Is not Jesus
promise sufficient for all? Gaining
for life begets life and not death,
When you pass away then your Spirits
will be as one Spirit, forever in the
realms of bliss and happiness. Nc
more trouble will ever come to you
for the Spiritual and the temporal
parts of her being are separated. AL
troubles, pains, anxieties, fatigues and
sickness come to one while the spirit
ual and physical parts are together
but when the physical or tempora
parts leave the Spiritual part, then It'll
Christ's. Christ knows no sickness
pain or discord. Christ is divine and
therefore can not look upon sin. A
little while and you will be with bel
Away. Jesus said: "Lo! I am will
you Away, even to the end of the
World" How full of consolation are
these words. Its charms are beyond
the magnitude of the human mind
Jesus made all these things so plain
that no one need go astray from thu
straight and narrow path that leadett
to eternal life. Jesus says: 81 am the
Way, the Life and the Truth. No mar
coneth unto the Father but by Me.
"Come unto Me all ye that are heav,
laden and I will give you rest"
