LIFE, NOT DEATH.

■ <' The following lines were written by Mrs ■ Bessie Robertson,, of London, after hearing of the death in action^of-her only son: There is no death; Those noble lives upon the battlefield So bravely given for King and Right, our Motherland to. shield, Live now more truly than in life: this is a truth revealed, , There is no Death. There is no Death; 'Tis but a change; promotion from this life '\ To higher, fuller life and work; safe.from this worldly strife, . Where human passions dim God's light, and battle storms are rife., There is no Death. There is no Death; Our dearest ones are with us now and aye, For nought can sever Love from Love, it ruts with us alway; ■ Tlough unseen now, we'll see them in Eternity's bright, day. Thero is no Death; There is no Death; Thank God for that; ' They're safe witlfin'His care, And with this thought to comfort us we can all sorrow bear, ■ i" Rememb'ring they are ever near, and we shall join them there In Life,—not Death.
