But this is temporal death. As We
must face it, let us face it like men.

long we live, but it matters greatly
how we live; and it matters not in
what size house we live, as after all,
some day our houses will be of the
same size, just two feet by six. You
Know dear people we can make death
come as a friend or as our enemy.
What is death? Death is just the echo
of life. AS we live, we die. You
know that tree is leaning as it
grows. If it is leaning to the right,
and you cut it down. it falls to the
right; If it is leaning to the left and
you cut it down, it falls to the left
So, dear people, as we lean during
life, SO shall we fall. We need not
justify ourselves and think, well l
am living a loose life but with God S
mercy hope to die good death .
No it is not possible. II we are striv-
ing, dear people. even with many slips
and falls-if we are striving to scale
the rocky road, the sunny way of vir.
tue-when We die, we shall enter
heavens gates. But if We allow our.
selves to slip down the broad, smooth,
easy track, when We die, there are
the yawning jaws OF hell AS we live,
we die.
