To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
D. rWHE New Testament teaches us to think of our, . Dead ones as ^^ asleep. " ''Them also which ^j sleep in Jesus Avill God bring with him. " (i Thess. Iv. 14). They are gone from us, but they rest in the Lord. And when they awake, they will be still ^^'ith Him. Why, then, should we weep for those who, now calmly resting in Christ, await a joyful resurrection ? As " sleep is to waking, so is death to the resur- rection. " It is the dawn of a Resurrection morning which gives its full force to th...e image. In death there is rest from care and sorrow, and aU the ills which make life painful; and so far it is like to sleep, when we lie down and put from us, in uncon- scious slumber, the cares of the day, the sorrows that may have vexed us, or other ills that may have pained or wearied us. But it requires the assurance of an awakening to complete the analogy. It were little to say to men, as Socrates said long ago, that death is a '' great gain, " even if we only think of it as a ''deep sleep in which one has had no dream.
