Let us obeythe in- stincts that call within us to worship this sinless One, who has tasted death for every sinner. Our loved ones beyond are with Him, and He is among them as the first born of many brethren. point us forward.. Paul gives us three looks. First at the old house. Paul reverenced the old house in which he lived. Indeed he called it "The Temple of the Holy Ghost" and truly it is a wonderful house. This body in which we live with its windows called eyes, through which we look. Its ears, its hands, feet, all its furniture. But Paul had one fault—just one. It became too small. Paul' grew so large in faith, sym- pathy, love, that one day God said, "The House Paul is living in is too small" and sent The Moving Van to move him out. Pastor Wilson' said. in Hamilton, for four years , he got to know the Moving Van as a familiar object and he had come to know the Moving I Van called "the last sickness" quite well also. Two facts he noted of the Moving Van. First, it protected the furniture in proving.

Paganism as monarch over the lives of Hien, is ! , dead itself. Among the' voices that whisper to man his immortality, he referred to self identity, persisting through all the changes of body and brain, wait- ing only, for the last change we call l ' death. Another voice which whispers our immortality is the unfinished nature of human life. An acorn con- 1" tains a folded possibility which is complete and finished when it again produces acorns. It is not so with man,' The universal testimony and observation of man,' especially the greatest men, ' is that only a part and that a very small part of which they are capable, ever reaches Ma- turity. Man needs immortality: He is a two -work' 'creature who needs time and environment denied him here to reach his perfection. The master. minds of the ages have believed in immortality.
