The Review.

The text reminds us—

I. THAT THE SEASON OF DEATH IS A TIME FOR REFLECTION .

1 . In presence of a corpse the giddiest pause .

(a) What a mystery is death!

(b) What a mystery is life!

(d) Are we prepared to encounter the inevitable? Who can forecast the moment?

(e) Why should we defer the needful preparation?

2 . When a monarch dies a nation thinks .

3 . But the virtuous only are lamented .

II. THAT WE SHOULD , THEREFORE , SO LIVE THAT SUCH REFLECTIONS MAY PROVE GRATEFUL . To this end our policy should be—

1 . Pure .

2 . Peaceable .

3 . So shall we avoid disaster .
