The After-Life.

By William J. Sears

LIVE in the light of the after-life. Time's ebbing stream Speeds to the ocean of endless day, Bearing life's bark beyond bar and bay Into the depths, where the sun-lit spray Glints like a dream.

Live in the light of the after-life. Soon comes the dawn; Then will be banished each night-born fear, Then will the land on the lee appear, Then will the mists from the hillside clear, Then will be morn!

Live in the light of the after-life. Dwell not in gloom; Soon will come rest for the weary feet, Soon will the saints in the homeland meet, Soon will the Saviour His loved ones greet! Why dread the tomb?

— William J. Sears.
