is
book, _Dei gratia,_ will, as the good bishop sings,

"Teach them to live that they may dread The grave as little as their
bed."

It cannot make them sad, for, ere it comes loved souls will have gone
from earth and from their tender bosom, but not from their memories; and
will seem to beckon them now across the cold valley to the golden land.

It cannot make them sad, for on earth the happiest must drink a
sorrowful cup more than once in a long life, and so their brightest
hopes will have come to dwell habitually on things beyond the grave;
and the great painter, _jam Senex,_ will chiefly meditate upon a richer
landscape and brighter figures than human hand has ever painted; a scene
whose glories he can see from hence but by glimpses and through a glass
darkly; the great meadows on the other side of Jordan, which are bright
with the spirits of the just that walk there, and are warmed with an
eternal sun, and ring with the triumph of the humble and the true, and
the praises of God forever.
