He cometh I forth like a flower, and is cut; down, he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not."
His body wars then laid to rest in the new cemetery at High Gate. There to await the coming of Jesus Christ; "when He comes to be glorified in His Saints and to be admired in all them that believe." When they that die. in the Lord shall arise to meet their Savior, to be lifted to the skies to that haven of Eternal rest." To the bereaved we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their sad hours of deep sorrow.
