But the Bishop, who came to preach the funeral sermon, said, "It was one of the most beautiful things of which he had ever heard, and he felt that instead of mourning and weeping, there should be flowers and singing. Two happy saints treading together the streets of gold! No long parting! No farewells! The Rector," he told the people, "could hardly have had time to reach the gates of Heaven before he was joined by his wife. What could be more joyful for them!" "But," he added, and with evident emotion, "when we look at it from our own point of view, we cannot help tears. Did not our blessed Lord weep at the tomb of Lazarus? It is not wrong to weep; but in thinking of our loss, we must not forget their gain; for they were lovely and pleasant in their lives and in their death they were not divided!" THE END.
