BISHOP OF LONDON ON DEATH.
Preaching recently at a service in connection with the Commercial Travellers' Christian Association the Bishop of London said that there was no subject on which Christians wore so mistaken as on that of death. Death was mistaken for the pain which sometimes preceded it. The supposed horror of death was founded on nothing more than a delusion. Death was an incident that took placo in a continuous life, and the idea that the spirit slept after death was a complete delusion. There were six things revealed to us about the life after death —that the man was the same man five minutes after death as five minutes before it, except that he had passed through one more experience in life, that bis character would grow, that ho had memory, that he would be with Christ in paradise, that there he would still have a great interest in the world he had left.
