The Joy of the Better Country
Hebrews 11:15-16
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from where they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.…


He (Rev. W. Marsh, D.D.) told us of Mr. Simeon's mode of describing a Christian's death. "Who are you?" (looking back). "Sorrow." "And who are you?" "Sighing." Then stretching his hands upward — "And who are you? Joy." "And who are you? Gladness." "Then, farewell, Sorrow, farewell, Sighing; Joy and Gladness, I will go with you!"

(Miss Marsh.)
