,
This is a:very cOranion expression,,and
et its true source has been almost wholly
verlooked. It hasfiguredas an epitaph
n gravestones, and has been utilised by
e poets and o writers. No doubt:
thrttil
• everybody is accivaa ,with it, and it may
therefore be-worth'iwisn e Ito point out Where
it in all probability comes from.- The writer
. of an interesting article in A recent number
of the . Bazar gives-varioes instances of its
. occurrence, and concludes as follows: "The
thought is indeed.a Christian thought, but
thewords are the words of a paean. It
was the stoic Seneca -who said,' Not - lost,
, 1 -
. but gone before;' Non amittuntur, ,sed
. mittuntur."" No reference to - any -place
• Seneca is. given, and it may fairly be qu
- ,tionea whether that Atalior uses the.actual
words *ascribed tci--,.._ _. There is in his
36th Epistle a . rentitikable sentence in
which we reed, "Pesti* which we dread
and shun interrupts life, does not takti.it
away;. the day will come again which sh.11
restore US to the light, i and whiCh" ma y
would -- shun • miles's! - it . brought
.back 'those who • !. are - -. forgotten:"
The Meaning Of "this is not that of the
Christian, and •nothing else in Seneca, so
far as we -can . discover, can be coMpered,
with the phrase Under consideration. Rut
Cyprian, the martyr, who wrote in the third
-century, supplies ha i with something
verydefinite. ' It 10 . discourse "n
Mortality," Cyprian "seeks it this lan-
guage: "Our brethren - should - not be
bewailed when by the-stenmonsof the Lord
they are delivered fiord this world; for I
know that they are not lost but Sent before
(win eos amitti; sedprceinz4ti), that whentthey

the -Funeral-r storm Association, "that
