To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Only a few years after his death, Ids unhappy city was invaded liy the armies of Babylon and brought to suffer all the horrors of siege, of torture and of captivity, deferring to this, and thinking of Josiah peacefully sleeping with his fathers, the prophet Jeremiah says to the nation of mourners, ''Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him ; but weep sore for him that goethawa^', for he shall return no more, nor see his native country." It was emphatically truetliat ho was taken away from t...he evil to come — even as the Lordhad intimated to him, saying, "•Thou shaltbe gathered to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes sliall not sec the evil that I will bring upon this place." But the words of the text, we may l)e assured, liave an api)li- cation to all cases similar to that of Josiah. Even when we cannot see any gleams of light or comfort in the nntimely death of friends, it is yet true tliat tlie\' are taken from the evil to come. Sometimes we live long enough to see that the removal of those that Ave could least of all afford to lose from their splieres of labor, was a most merciful interi)osition in their be- half.
