a LAY SERMON
By Chas. Sessions

This is a little lay sermon. Some
years ago I was standing at the bed
side of a near relative, whose death
was expected any moment. She was
a fine wholesome woman, faithful
wife and loving mother of two small
children Two years before, a daugh-
ter, Susie, had died. This mother
simply adored Susie and was heart
broken over her death. Finally the
m other was stricken and the doctors,
after exhausting all their ability to
save her life, called the family in and
told them she could only live few
minutes We gathered around the
bedside, hoping against hope, that she
might rally and recover. Presently
her face changed The grim reaper
had come. Suddenly the dying
mother opened her eyes, a smile
broke through her lips, her face
beamed and in great joy she ex-
claimed, |'Susie! Susiel'' She sank
back and was soon cold in death
Last Sunday morning Charles W.
G1eed, one of the best loved men in
Kansas, was lying sick unto death
Many years ago he lost his mother
whom he had fairly worshipped.
Whatever success he had made in
life he credited to his sainted mother
and his good wife. Mrs. Gleed had
kept constant watch over him during
his illness for months. She was at
his side when the death messenger
came. She noticed a different look
on his face. She felt the end was
! near. She tenderly caressed him.
| Suddenly his face frightened, his
eyes flashed a smile broke over his
face and he exclaimed, why, moth
| eri notherI' He sank back The
end came peacefully like sleep.
! A few people still conscientiously
doubt that there is a world beyond
| These two instances only convince
me all the more that there is a land
fairer than this and that by right
| living and doing unto others as we
would they should do unto us, we
shall enter it. I just know that that
good mother, she passed through
the valley, saw her daughter, Susie
and that Charles Gleed, as his SOU
was waited to the God who gave it

just the same as if I had seen them
