Love.

A young lady has a Sunday-school class of rather bright boys, averaging between 7 and 9 years. Recently she requested each pupil to come on the following Sunday with some passage of Scripture bearing on love. The lads heeded the reqdest, and in turn recited their verses bearing upon that popular topic—such as “Love, your enemies” “Little children, love one another,” etc. The teacher said to the boy whose turn came last, “ Well, Robbie, what is your verse?” Rising, he responded, “ Song of Solomon, ii. 5—‘ Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples; fori am sick of love.’ ” Cora L. Y. Richmond, the spiritual clairvoyant, explains that the spirit after death is not clothed in external garments, fashioned as earthly garments are, but affectionate friends, spirits who are in sympathy, gather arouud and adjust the raiment. Garments are woven of atmospheric conditions and spiritual substances surrounding the individual.
