Think of Death as a Friend, Not a Foe
It is the Only Certain Thing in Life
"A Change of World" is. Desirable

Said Life to Death, "Methlnks If I were
you,
1 would not carry such fin awesome face
To terrify the helpless human race.
And If, Indeed, those wondrous tales be
true
Of happiness beyond, and If I knew
About the boasted blessings of that
place,
I would not hide so miserly all trace
Of my ,vaBt knowledge. Death, if 1 were
vou.
Hut like a glorious nngel I would lean
Above the pathway of each sorrowing
soul,
Hope la my eyes, and comfort In my
oreath. '
And strong corjvjctlon in my ' radiant
mien'.
The whltuil whispered pt that beauteous'
jroa 1,1(1 -
This would I do, It I were you, O
Death.!".
Said Death to Life, "If I were you, my
friend,
1 would not lure confiding souls each day
AVIth fair, false, smiles, to enter on a
Tvay
So filled with pain and trouble to tho
end.
1 would not tempt those whom I should
defend.
Nor stand unmoved and sec them go
astray. . .
Nor would I force unwilling souls to stay
Who longed for freedom, were I you, my
friend,
Hut, likn a tender mother, I would take
The weary world upon my sheltering
breast
Ana wipe away us -lears, ana sooino lis
strife.
1 would fulfill my promises, and make
My children bless mo us they sank to
rati,
Where now they curse If I were you, O
Life!"
Life made no answer, and Death spoke
again.
I would not woo from Clod's sweet noth
Ingr.css A fouI to being. If I could not bless
And crown it with all Joy. If unto men
My faco seems awesome, tell me, Life,
why then
Do they pursue me. mad for my caress,
lleltevlng in my silence Mrs redress.
For your loud falsehoods? (So Death
spoke again.)
Oh. It Is well for you I am not fair,
Well ttiat I hide behind a voiceless tomb
The mighty secrets of that other place,
i:ise would you stand In Impotent despair
While unfledged souls straight from tho
mother's womb
Hushed to my arms, and spat upon your
face."
The main object of most human beings
Is to avoid death, and yet death Is the
only certain thing In life.
From the hour we draw the first breath
we are going for
ward to meet
death.
Instead of re
garding d'fUn as
a foe. would itnot
ho more sensible to
think of t as a
friend?
One who comts

delightful Journey '
There are some
advanced meta -j.hyslclans
who talk
and write about
the possibility of
llvipg continually
and perpetually in
hfn body. George
Krancls Train declared he should do so.
He believed he had overcome death. He
believed he had acquired the life habit,
and he meant to prove that there was no
need of changing bodies.
But his body Is now dust.
Mary Baker Eddy and Helen Wilmans
snd Wallace Wattles and Eleanor Kirk
all talked this same philosophy: all be
l.eved they had entered upon life eternal
In this body on this earth.
Yet all are gathered to their fathers.
All "changed their worlds."
All live, on-other planes In higher states
of consciousness.
No doubt all come near the old seenos
snd Influence, those whose minds are
ti-ned In the same key, at times.
Yet they have experienced that change
Ich we call death.
tion after the great event . had taken
Place.
Tho most glorious music, If played con
tlnuully, ceases to please the cur. The
most appetising food loses Its tasto If
continually taken, and life would pall
upon tho happiest heart If it underwent
no change of death.
The- good swimmer enjoys his sea bath
best when lightly clad.
How much more delightful must be mo
tion In spaco when tho body is cost
aside.
Wo have many bodies; tho physical one
meant only for death.
Tho nstral body, .meant only for the
astral piano; tho desire body, which Is
tho vehicle our emotions havo made, nnu
which will eventually drop away, an tho
others wlllt and lenvo,ua. lu. tho. spiritual
body. In each of these bodies we will
have1 new and wonderful experiences.
And as we pass onward from piano to
plane',, meeting those who have been dear
to us on earth, und leurnlng new truths
nnd gulnlng now powers, to help us when
we again, uftor long periods of time, re
turn to finish tho work wo leavo undone
here now.
Each of us ought to think of these
things, calmly and with reverenco and
with faith In Clod's great goodness; wo
should, In the midst of all our pleasures
and pursuits and amblttonB and occupa.
tlons, give a little time every day to
happy thoughts of that wonderful change
called death; and. wo should know that
Just as we think of It. and Just as we
tlilnlc of llfo here, so will that life be to
which death guides us. -
We are. building our heavens (and our
hells) as we pass along the cartli. Cheer
fulness, hoi-, good will, generosity,
patience, gratitude, love, reverence, Indus
try, truthfulness, admiration of the beau
tiful, tho seeking for beauty In nil things,
order nnd system and harmony all these
qualities .are stones which aro being laid
In the mansion In tho skies which we win
occupy.
Anger, revenge, hate, 111 will, greed,
and all tho other unlovely faults of
humun nature., build hells for sduls to
dwell In until they work their way out
Into fairer realms.
Choose your material with care, then,
and glvo a llttlo time every day to. think
ing your heaven Into shape, ready for
the occupancy of your soul when It
passes onwurd.
And think of death as your great, good,
beautiful guide, not as your hideous
enemy.

Pa had a argument last nite with the
richest man In' the town ware we are
stopping. All of the peepul In the town,
ncerly. Is afrude of the rich man, but
Pa isent afrade of him beekaus we know
sum peepul In the cities that malks moar
In a yeer than all this rich man Is worth.
Tho argument Pa had with the rich man
was about the opportunities for a yung
man to beecum rich.
The rich man was at our hotel, & he
was talking with Pa about my going to
college. Pa thot that after I had went
thru the publlck school he wud send me
9 o'clock at nite, & many a big deal has
been put oaver the plate around mid

been much of a general If he had wont

go to bed every nite at nine, eether, sod
Pa, eeven wen he wu a boy. He used
to stay awake till erly In the morning
sumtlmes, reeding books that he had
borrowed.
I doant care what Lincoln 'did, sed the
rich man, I always went to bed at nine.
Lincoln dldent have much money when
he died.
