dear me his sudden (perditiom was never expected, because, there are,and
there is several is|to be doeee which are bleeding. I can't believe,

Well dear,there is no need to write more about this los
since you knew him far better then we did, We are very conscious and under-
stand that youropen wound is very much deeper than that ours.
If we bind this hypothesis to a worldly and natural cause,
and mourn, grieve and be sorry,thon who will dare to pay attention to the
words of the Gaspel? Sorry to say that no one. so, with this point of view,
the death and its consequences will not stand any solace and comfort.But,
tharkGod that, both life and death are im His domain and judgement.Halle~
lujal ! Thanks again to our Lord Jesus Christ, who, by means of atonement
and intercession, will lead the death to a glorious and majestic palace,
to the Supreme Court of Justice, to His Father, who has given solemn pro-
mise of an eveFlasting Tife beyond the grave, Marvelous isn't it ?
The Scripture says, "Whoever believeth in Him, will live
even if he has died." Rev.1:13. And I heard a voice from heaven ,saying,
" Write, ' Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now onJ'" "Ye:
says the Spirit, " that they may rest from their labors,for their deeds
follow with them," Rev.1}:13.
According to the believers, it is necessary to live in
order to serve the lord, " For to live is Christ, and to die is gain."Php.1:21
Faithfulstearthly death, is nothing, but, a change to an eternal life. For
the Believers, dieing in Gods' way, is not an adversity, on the contrary, it
is a privilege, it is a noble and comforting ux act, because Lord will bless
them. They live in faith. They say," In order to be free from a limted earth-
| ly bondyto an unlimited heavenly bond." It is better to get rid of the
s and adhere to Jesus! loving tie. He,-the faithful- throws him-

The believers Imow very well that, the Heavenly Father
4s a compassionate,merciful,charitable,loving and a forgiving Father ,who,
will not lose from’His sight, the widows and the orphans.
Dear sister,yes, I know that you drank the bitter cup to
the very dregs. I am sure, by now you did find solace through the Holy-Ghost.
My daily prayer. is,that ‘Lord Jesus Christ be with you in order to forget
the effect of that bitter cup.
I lmow well, that you have a new and heavy burden on your
shoulders, which will complicate things around you. So, be of good cheer in
Christ. "For no temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man,
God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength,
but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may
be able to endure it." 1€0.10:13.
