mouthpiece of the Creator. Death, than,
rather than life, or light or physical
correspondence in mans native en-
vironment. In that destructive element
he lives, moves and has his perpetual
being. "In the midst of life we are IN
death. = How frequently has that
verse found practical illustration in the
course of human events. The instanta-
neous snuffing out of the life light OF

Kinley, are tragic examples of the
scriptures, undertaking fidelity. One

this sphere and gone to try the realities
of another world. Sad indeed is thu
thought. But to the Great Unseen VIII

submission and await with patience tn
lifting of the veil when all enigma
of this life shall be made clear.
