To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is time our forms of service, and our customs at funerals, changed, and took on more the note of confidence and hope. Now, only smallest chil- dren, unaffected by wrong notions of death, are unafraid of it. Men generally shrink from it as from the direst calamity. One familiar poet voices the sentiment of all when he writes : " The tear, the knell, the groan, the pall, the bier. And all we know, or dream, of fear, of agony, are thine. In any form, O Death, thou art terrible." All this, and s...uch as this, however cherished, and one may well won- der why, is mere poetic fiction, and neither philosophic reason. Masonic teaching, nor religious revelation. That death involves bereavement needs no comment. That bereave- ment necessitates suffering and sorrow is a universal conviction. That the suffering and sorrow, however intense, are not irremediable, is also true, and proof in itself that whatever is its cause it has no permanent value. Death is a temporary thing, not, as it seems, a permanent catastrophe.
