Therefore we look forward to that last event of life without fear. Like our Master Himself, we shall commit our spirit into the hand of God. We shall go to dwell in the Father's house." "After all," as one great man has said, "immortality is a dreary pros- pect if our Father is not in it" W. Adams Brown (The Christian Hope) says truly, "If we wish to make faith in another life credible we must' fill this life with value. And the one sure way to do this is to discover with Dr. Rainy that "our Father is in it"--the Father whose loving purpose for us and for all mankind Jesus has reveal- ed, and in whose zarvice, which is at the same time the service of our fel- lowmen, we find our freedom and our peace." An Incorruptible Inheritance. 1 Peter 1: 8-5. The apostle gives thanks to God for the "living hope" to which we have been brought through our faith in Christ, a hope based upon the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Because He is risen we believe that we, too, shall rise again. Because He has entered into'the glory of the life eternal we also shall enter and live with Him. Richer than any earthly inheritance is this inheritance in! heaven, "incorruptible, and undefiled, ! | and that fadeth not away." For this! we wait in steadfast hope, and "by the power of are guarded through faith." The full significance of it is not yet vevealed, but it will be re- vealed "in the last time." rr --p nes Dull Weather Plants.
