are continually “saying Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty.”—also v: 11, 12. The sleeping saints at the resurrection have no rest, they serve God _day_ and _night_ in his temple—vii: 15. Then the _rest_ spoken of here in the 13th verse is of the living; resting from their labors with the world. Once more, “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.” Paul said the commandment so affected him that he _died_—Rom. vii: 9. He means that he died to sin. Again, he says, “I _die daily_,”—1st Cor. xv: 31; “In _deaths_ oft”—2d Cor. xi: 23; “If ye be _dead_ with Christ,” &c.—“For ye are _dead_ and your life is hid with Christ in God” &c.—Col. ii: 20; iii: 3, 4; also, see Rom. vi: 8, 11, “_Dead_ indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” In all these, and much more, he uses these terms for himself and others that were actually alive in the church. But the general term used for such as were literally _dead_, by Jesus and the apostles, are asleep; _they sleep_; “Our friend Lazarus _sleepeth_.” He spake of his death; the people did not understand; he explained by saying “_plainly_ he is _dead_.”—John xi: 11-14. Paul says, “they also which are fallen _asleep_ in Christ”—1st Cor. xv: 18; “Some are fallen _asleep_.”—6th verse: “We shall not all _sleep_, but we shall be changed.”—51st verse: see also 1st Thes. iv: 15, “Them also which _sleep_ in Jesus” &c.; “Since the Fathers fell _asleep_”—2d Pet. iii: 4. _History._—We prove these, then, to be a part of the same class of the messengers and their adherents that came out of the churches. Thousands of living testimonies could be adduced to prove the multitudes who died in the camp meetings and conferences, about the time that the messengers were closing up their messages. Why, many were burdened with the cry, die to sin, and the world; and live unto God. And thousands passed through this death struggle. Yes, they were blessed by _dying in the Lord_. Those who deny and make light of this part of our experience, were but little acquainted with the work of God in the fall of 1844, and need to be instructed again. But those that died to sin, and the world then; cannot be in a saved state now, if returned to the world. To be safe, follow Paul’s example, “_die daily_.”
