And then "till death us do part" may
mean what it will. Let death part what of them he can part, the
perishing mortal body; he has no power over the soul, or over the body
which shall rise to life eternal. Let death do his worst. They belong
to Christ who conquered death, and they live by His everlasting life, and
their life is hid with Christ in God, where death cannot reach it or find
it; and therefore their life and their love, and the grace of it, will
last as long as Christ's life and Christ's love, and Christ's grace last-
-and that will be for ever and ever.
SERMON XXI. FATHER AND CHILD
Eversley. 1861.
1 Cor. i. 4, 5, 7. "I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace
of God which is given you by Jesus Christ. That in every thing ye are
enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge . . . So that ye
come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the
day of our Lord Jesus Christ."
