the church above. Let us bow with humble submission to his will, believing that he is just and true in all his ways, and that however mysterious, to our view, may be his dispensations, yet he is infinitely wise, and will make all things work together for good to them who love him. He has appointed the time, the place, and the circumstances, of our brother's death, and faith pronounces, that "all is well." Let us pray, that we may not only exercise submission, but derive profit. Let us pray for our afflicted, bereaved sister, that God will uphold her with his strength and hide her in the secret of his pavilion. O, may he who is the widow's God and Judge, be her stay and her portion now. May she hear the tender voice of her Saviour, saying, It is I-be not afraid. May the good Shepherd carry her little one in his bosom, and make it one of the lambs of his flock. May God console the aged parents with the hope of soon meeting their child in the presence of the Redeemer. May he sanctify this event to us all. To his ministers, it says, Be ye also ready. Do the work of an evangelist. Make full proof of your ministry. Be instant in season, and out of season, since ye know not the day nor the hour when your Master will come, and call for you. To the Board of Missions, it says, Be diligent in your work. Pray the Lord of the harvest to prepare more laborers: be not disheartened, for the work is the Lord's, and Jesus shall reign where'er the sun To his people, to this church, it says, Watch and pray, and labor for the Lord, looking for and hastening unto the coming of the day of God. Trust in him, that he will be your guide even unto death; and that precious in his sight is the death of all his saints. To the young, it says, Prepare to meet your God, for you may die young, as he did. Serve the Lord, like him, when you are young, and you will be prepared to live or to die. To the impenitent it speaks, warning them to seek the Lord, while he may be found. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness, while the righteous hath hope in his death.
