DsiTn How little we realize
the solemnity of death! We see the
fuueral procession as it passes us
oij'iu way to the grave. The
friends of the deceased with bowed
heads and drooping heart follow
the corjiwe to it last resting place.
Perhaps a widowed mother is left
to mourn the death of her hus
band. With what patience she sits
and listens, to the funeral sermon,
ever and anou a great sob of an
guish breaks from her, shaking
her whole body in her grief. Her
lips move in silent prayer to Al
mighty God, the friend of the be
reaved. She follows the body to the
grave ; : and hears the falling
clods uHu the, coffin and there
kneels snd her stricken heart cries
out, "Oj Jesus help me to bear thla,n
she. is taken away in an almost un
conscious, condition. The utter
loneliness of the following days, "so
lonely ! oh, so louelyl without my '
dear husbaud how cau I live! Help
me Jesus.'' Ever calling ou the
supreme power for i aid. At last
relief comes, slowly, it U true, but
comes though the memory of
the loved one never passe from
the mind. It may have been -fond

Oh the utter sinking of the .
