He has left an amiable wife and interesting family to mourn his death; but they mourn not as those who have no hope." In the midst of their sad bereavement they are comforted by the hope that his departed spirit has gone to that "rest that remaineth for the people of God," where after life's toil is over, they hope to meet again.
