Death and Mourning.

With a heavy heart the queen of Jeroboam moved along the road from Shiloh to Tirzah, and received the salute of death at the threshold of the palace. This sad event was soon followed by a state funeral and by a public mourning. In all this note how—

I. SORROW TARNISHES HUMAN SPLENDOUR .

1 . Survey this palace of Tirzah .

2 . Behold in this paradise a corpse!

II. IT HAS RELIEFS AND AGGRAVATIONS .

1 . The reliefs are the fruits of virtue .

2 . The aggravations are the fruits of sin .
