Fragment

"How poor and feeble are any words of human comfort we can offer, and at best they are but the expression of the truth, ' If one member suffer, the other members suffer with it.' There is, however one source of true comfort; that is the word of God. What a glorious light it sheds into this scene of sorrow and death, fixing our gaze on that blessed One at whose coming the dead in Christ shall rise first; 'then, we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
