Cor. ", 6-S, Being, therefore, always
of good courage and knowing that
whilst we are at home in the body
we are absent from the Lord, we are
confident, l say and willing rather to
be absent from the body and to be at
home with the Lord Paul expected
the very moment that he was liberated
from this house of clay to be at home
with the Lord. The Lord has not seen
fit to reveal to us much about the state
between death and the resurrection,
except that we shall be with the Lord
Jesus Christ that is, those who die
trusting in Christ. We find by much
Scripture teaching that the wicked sink
| into hadeS and are there confined in
d state of torment until the judgment
of the great white throne, when they
shall be resurrected, judged and sent
! away into lake of fire.
They are now in state of torment,
as we see in the case of the rich man,
but their final end will be the lake of
fire. Rev. Xxx, Is: whatsoever was
not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire. We
find the resurrection of the body taught
in the Old Testament. While the Old
Testament in the main is a book of
laws, regulations and promises, yet we
find in it proof of the resurrection
considered the Oldest book in the Bible,
Job XIX, %: And though after my
skin worms destroy this body, yet in
my flesh l shall see God Job lived
about 1,500 years before Christ, yet we
find him looking forward to the resur- |
Tection. Daniel XII, 2, And many of |
them that sleep in the dust of the earth |
shall awake, some to everlasting life |
and some to shame and everlasting |
contempt In the New Testament we
find the teaching concerning the resur I
rection of the body abundant, indeed.
call attention to only few of the
many references. John XII, rs:
Jesus said unto her: 81 am the res
direction and the life; he that believ-
eth on me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live again. John ", 26 %,
Marvel not, for the hour is coming
i'll which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice and shall come
forth, they that have done good unto
the resurrection of life, and they that
have done evil unto the resurrection
of damnation.' l. Cor. XIV, 21-22. For
since by man came death by man came
also the resurrection of the dead, for
as in Adam all die, SO also in Christ
shall all be made alive l. Cor XIV,
51-52: Behold l show you mystery,
we shall all sleep (that is die, but
we shall all be changed in moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump, for the trumpet shall sound and
the dead shall be raised incorrnptible-'

AT the battle of Inkerman a soldier !
was just able to crawl to his tent after !,
he was struck down. After the battle
was over they found him lying upon ,
his face, his Bible open before him, +
his hand glued fast to the page by his :
life blood, which covered it. When his ;
land was lifted the letters of the print !,
I'd page were clearly traced upon it :
md, with the ever living promise in his :
land, they laid him in a soldiers 7

and the life; he that be-
ieveth in me, though he were dead,
ret shall he live,' Yes, l want religion

world to come. Thank God the glor-
Gus morning of the resurrection will c

cad in Christ shall rise first; then we

O shall we ever be with the Lord "
