The dust shall return to the earth as it was. It is sown in corruption; it is sown in dishonour; it is sown in weakness; it is sown a natural body.-The first man is of the earth, earthy. Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.-One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. ... My flesh shall rest in hope.Though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.-The Lord Jesus Christ shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.-So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. ECCLES. 12. 7. 1 Co. 15. 42-44.-1 Co. 15. 47. Gen. 3. 19.- I will be as the dew unto Israel. The meekness and gentleness of Christ. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preac Ideliverance to the captives, and reco vering of sight to the blind, to set a are bruised, to pread liberty th of the Lord. the o them, This day lled in your ea tness, and wonder Απ The spirit shall return unto God who gave it. The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.-There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.The first man Adam was made a living soul.-The spirit of man that goeth upward. Whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. We are confident, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.-With Christ; which is far better.-I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ECCLES. 12. 7.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.-I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. JAMES 1. 25. Jno. 8. 32-34, 36.
