comes ofhs when we die?" Or
do we live after the death of the
body, as a spiritual being? In
order to have a good starting we
shall refer you to the following
scripture:
There was a certain rich man
which was clothed in purple and
tine.linen, and Jared sumptuous
ly every day:
And there was a certain
beggar named Lazarus. which
was laid at his gate full of sores.
And desiring to be fed with
the crumbs which fell from the
rich mans table: moreover the
dogs came and licked bis sores.
And il came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bos-
ON: the rich man also died, and
was buried;
And il hell he lifted up bis
eyes, being in torments; and
seeth Abraham afar off, and Lac.
arus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me
and send Lazarus, that he may
dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for | am
tormented in this flame.
Put Abraham said, Son. re-
member that thou in thy Ifs
time receivedst thy good things
and likewise Lazarus evil things
but now he is comforted, ano
thou art tDrmented.
And beside all this, between
US and you there is great gull

Here is positive fact in thos'
declarations of Christs' that is

are that we live after the deaf!

that we go to heaven or hell. ON
