Was there no mercy in the very anguish in which your friend groaned and writhed on his dying bed ; or in that other and more start- ling manner of death by which he was suddenly and fearfully separated from you, that he might be '-'carried up into heaven?" You tell us that your departed friend was a Christian, a hopeful heir of heaven. Think a moment, then ; all the suffering he endured was only the taking down of the frail tabernacle of clay. Disease and death were only breaking up the mortal ...tenement of the sanctified soul, to let it go forth at liberty for its upward flight. The spirit needed in some way to be un- bound from its fastenings to earth, that it might ascend to its God. Could you have devised better, the way in which it 8 should be done ? The process was necessarily a painful one.
It could not be otherwise than that " The pains, the groans, the dying strife," should be such as to " water his couch with his tears," if there ; or if suddenly dying under other circumstances, to create in- describable anguish, and to make him cry out, " the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof doth drink up my spirits/' But when the work of disease and death is finish- ed, and the release of the soul is effected, and the freed spirit is on seraph wings and high up on its bright way home to its God, rejoicing that " the bitterness of death is past," and bless- ing the very anguish which finally unchained it from the frail, vile body ; will you say that there has been no mercy to the soul of your friend, in what God bade to be thus done for his release ?
