the kindly thought undgood will of all whom he

glorious faith that possessed him in the contact

passing away was sweet and beautiful beyond the
power of words to describe. Glimpses of the fu

caught by his enraptured spirit as it hung in the
balances between heaven and earth. In tones
glowing with the light of immortal love and grat
itude to the Infinite Spirit, he declared to his
loved ones who clustered around his dying couch,
as he awoke from a deep tr met-like slumber, that
he had "already been to four heavens.” Later,
on awaking again, he remarked: “Now the child
meaning himself'is ready. Put it on the train
