"I am the Resurrection and the Life, he that believeth in Me though he were dead, yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die.” The departed was reconciled to his going and was looking forward to the time that he should be received imo the eternal mansions that are prepa, ed for those that love the Lord. For in those mansions there is no suffer vss*- pvprving, no sorrow nor glim entiling is touched with the g!or\ <>t the Almighty.
