The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1917-01-05

90 The Lord hath given, the Lord
hath taken away; blessed be the name
of the Lord" On Saturday a grandson
was born to Herbert Shriver, and in
the course of the following day our
friend passed from his earthly pill
grimage. The grandparent and the
grandson shall n4ver meet in the
flesh. That reurIon is reserved for a
happier world.
"Oh my brethren, life without the
hope of immortality would not be
worth living. 1t would be mockery,
a delusion and a snare. What would
even the life of the Antedeluvian pat
riarchs be without the hope of i'm
mortality but a mist dispelled by the
morning sun. God has planted in the
human breast an unCOnquerable yearn-
ing for Immortality. This sentiment
inspires and dominates our best ac-
tions. This desire and hope reminds
us of our dignity and responsibility.
God would not have planted this SEN
timent in the human breast unless He
intended that it should be satisfied, for
He never creates anything in vain.
And thank God this sentiment or
the human heart is fully borne out by
SAYS the Patriarch Job, that my Re-
deemer liveth, and that on the last
dav | shall rise out of the earth, and
in my flesh I shall see my God. This
nv hope is laid up in my BOSOM
These are the words of consola-
ton I would give to you beloved
friends, particularly to the beloved
sister. who for SO many years has
shared the joys and sorrows OF your
cherished brother. This is the silver
lining to the clouds that hang over
you.
Farewell, my cherished friend,
will no longer greet you in my accus-
toned visits. l will never look upon
your face again, or listen to your
warm words of welcome. But your
spirit will hover over your sacred
! home and over the sweet little chapel
where we often knelt and prayed to-
gether and where | impaired to yol
the Bread of Life.
II cherish the belief and hope that
will meet you again in the land of thu
/ living, in that city above not made
with hands, where there will be Meth
! er sorrow nor mourning, nor deatl
nor separation, but eternal union ant
peace and rest in the bosom of ou
Father"
