Second Review and Advent Herald 1881/11/01
On approaching the chamber where a husband and father had just
breathed his last, we would be filled with astonishment to hear, not
the voice of mourning, the melancholy strains of some funeral chant,
but a song of sacred praise, joyous and triumphant as the Passover
Hallel. Surely, the widow and fatherless would be deemed lacking in
affection for the departed. Yet how could these afflicted ones, who
have lost their staff and counselor, and who must now lean more
entirely upon God--how could they more surely brace their souls for
danger and conflict than by calling to mind what their Heavenly Father
has done for them, how he has proved himself a present help in time of
trouble?
