The blest truth of place of

the thought of everlasting victory.
How mistaken we are sometimes
when we profess to live in the land
of the living, while In reality we
live in the land of the dying. We
are comforted by words coming
from Divine revelation. Job
speaks and says thai the Lord but
claims his own. Paul tells us that
when we are done with our clay
that there is mansion in the
heavens for lis. The Savior him
self speaks 81 will go and prepare
place for you, that where | am

vinely inspired that our friends
who have died in the Lord are safe
in the paradise of God, where the
wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are forever at rest.
