The native minister came and held a brief service. Then all followed the body to the grave-yard, walking in procession and singing in the Tamil language : — ** There's a land that is fairer than day, and by faith we can see it afar, For our Father waits over the way, to provide us a dwelling-place there. In the sweet by-and-by we shall meet on that beautiful shore. In the sweet by-and-by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore." Digitized by Qoo^z Cur Dead not Lost. 69 We stood around the open g...rave, and the native minister opened the Bible and read those words of Christ's : ** I am the Resurrection and the Life : he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." Marvellous words ! Surely none but a Divine Saviour could have spoken words so suited to meet the needs of the human heart. I looked again at the faces of the father and mother; they were upturned to heaven, and I saw in them a look of resignation and peace. In my heart I thanked God that we had such a Gospel to give to the heathen — a Gospel which presents such glorious hopes.
