This earth traveller lies down at the close of the day and falls asleep to rise no more; friends bear him to hJA-last resting place, a small plot of ground/a simple slab is placed to mnrk the spot, and in a few years strangers read a for- gotten name, his fellow pilgrims having jour- neyed homeward..

We ar<» joined to the hero in the story, the pilgrim of .the days of chivalry and the reformer of the past century. We are conscious of alliance with all excellence which has departed.

W^ , talce each other geutly by the hand at the close of the day of life aiid say "Good-night, we shall meet In the tnornlhg." We are not separated, only standing apart waiting till the task of the day Is done ;to go home together.

The htim.in Christ was still In heaven wflile at the side of Nicodemtis. VLIfe Is the continuous adjustment of internal relations to exteniKl relalilons." We are always living. God Is Father of the living and not the God of the dead. In agreeuient with Gad we are always alive. • Death Is the entrance to another form of life. It is not the end of life, but the passage into, a higher and purer sphere. The soul leaves the body as the butterfly leaves the chrysalis, for a new Itind of existence. The dying seem to see and hear something which cur senses cinnot appreciate.* Are their nt'w senses awakened or ol^senses intensified and purified preparatory to new condition of life ? Do they become departing seers ble?t with a vision reserved for mortals about to dwell in a new clime ? Changes take place in body and mind in the evening of life and there seems to ns to be changes going on in the soul. We stand in the presence of a great mystery and we are impressed that the inhabitant of earth is getting ready for the silent land. Is It pos- sible for us to get'a glimpse of t^e soul as it departs, or Is this reserved as one of the spiritual discoveries of the future ? We are now eujoylnghe beatitude of one day, but we shall yet enjoy the beatitude of eter- nity. Eirth is the shadow of heaven. The passing hour finds its beauty in tha hope of im- mortality. The tru.i man is willing to live or die as seeni^ best to the Mister of Life. Heaven is begun on earth and the grai\ieur of our life is found in the doctrine of ^ernlty. The love of life is a mark of a healthy state mind. We are living in the valley where the I '^ti^x'.ssiiS^ ^^ shadows lie, but as we scare the moiintains, the clouds of ahi part asundnr and we reach the pure atmosphere of heaven. God is on earth among men. Tiiero is an unseen .world. There are hidden things In nature, a wider worUi of beauty, a land of mystery which we jcannot see. It is unexplored, unlr« vlslbn of the soul.

From a serene height our loved^ ones behold us, and we are transformed by their presence. The de»d do not need us but we need them. They are beyond our help and they are not benefited by our praise. The monuments we buiid to commemorate their noble lives are not for them, but for* us, t^^ti- raoniaCls of our affection and an acknowledge- ment of our obligations to them. Their tlioughts words an.d de^ds have been trans- mitted to us.

Joined to therai by an infinite bond, we can carry on their work.
