2 Cor. v. 4.

The American Tract Society have published an edition of the Bible with "Brief Notes and Instructions." It is, taken all together, a nice volume, and worth having. But if its notes generally were as correct as on the above scripture, it would be worth a great deal more. 2 Cor. v, 4, is thus expounded by them:
"For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life."
"Unclothed; it is not the unclothing of our soul by death that we desire, but the clothing of it with the glorified body. If it might be the will of God, we should be glad to have mortality swallowed up of life without death, as will be the case of those who are alive at christ's coming."
G. W. A.
