turned, and I saw that she was upon the borders of the dark waters-I saw them overwhelming her-I cried out, but she looked up as the floods passed around her, and I heard her say—“ Blessed, blessed are they who die in the Lord ;" and she vanished. My spirit struggled to follow her, but I heard a voice again saying "This mortal has put on immortality, and this corruptible, incorruption." Then I saw a gleam of ineffable light on the other side of the dark ocean; my soul was filled with a solemn joy; suddenly a sort of mist spread over everything—the rainbow melted away-a dark shadow came over the garden-its polished walls vanished like the vain wishes they had reflected-a gradual duskiness stole over the whole scene, till all became dark as night, and nothing was heard but the sullen roar of the restless ocean! I awoke from my dream, repeating the words, "This mortal has put on immortality, and this corruptible, incorruption." E. L. C. |
