promises the Lord has made to His people will be verified.
Not one word will fail of fulfillment. May the Lord help us
all to be among those who shall meet their Lord in peace,
and who shall have the privilege of greeting our sister in
the kingdom of heaven. May God grant it for His name's
sake." p. 478, Para. 2, [LS15].
The hymn, "We shall meet beyond the river," and
benediction by Elder W. T. Knox, closed the Tabernacle
service. Carriages and cars were in waiting, and these
conveyed many hundreds to the burial place in Oak Hill
Cemetery. p. 479, Para. 1, [LS15].
At the Grave -- Half a century had passed since Mrs. White
and her husband buried their youngest child and soon
afterward their first born in the beautiful spot where now
she herself was to rest. When in 1881 Elder James White was
laid beside the children, little did his bereaved companion
think that the Lord would strengthen her to continue in
ministry for a full third of a century. Yet such had been
the case; and now, her labors ended, she was to rest by the
side of her loved ones. p. 479, Para. 2, [LS15].
Elder I. H. Evans read the story of the raising of Lazarus
from the dead, as recorded in the eleventh chapter of John.
Jesus has declared: "I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he
live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never
die." Elder Evans also read, from the apostle Paul's
inspired testimony in 1 Corinthians 15, many positive and
comforting assurances concerning the resurrection of the
righteous. "If there be no resurrection of the dead, then
is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is
our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." "If in
this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the first fruits of them that slept." "In Christ
shall all be made alive." "Death is swallowed up in
victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy
victory?" "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor
is not in vain in the Lord."
"We may sleep, but not forever;
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never,
