conducted by him, he said, that the
deceased admitted the obligation
upon him as a member. since which
time he had been an active worker

he had been an intimate associate
and friend of Senator Clay's. He
said that, should he select a text
for this occasion, it would be, He
being dead, yet liveth;" that, look
ing into the face of the lifeless
form, by the side of his open Bible,
he could say to Gods children there
is no death; that through Christ
this has been abolished; that there
is a life above unmeasured by the
flight of years and that life is Love.
