Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 74: December 19, 1912
May the Lord bless you, my friends, and comfort your hearts. Bless your souls, What is lacking? What do they need to com fort them? A noble father, a noble mother, both Of whom have been devoted all their lives to the cause Of Zion and Of truth; both Of whom have fought the good fight' and kept the faith, and have set an example before them that is worthy of the imitation of all men, in all ages Of the world. There is no death here; we do not feel the in?uence Of death, but freedom from the sorrows and pains and anguish Of this mortal career, with the absolute assurance that we shall meet again, that we shall know them as they are, that they will not change into something else, but they will be themselves, and that is the point in Mormonism. It teaches us that. The Bible teaches it and the Book of Mormon teaches it. Not a hair Of the head shall be lost. Read the Book Of Mormon and see what it says. The Book Of Mormon teaches it, and those who believe in Mormonism believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and they must accept these things. And why should we not have joy in the contemplation of meeting our loved ones when we shall have finished this course.
When I came to the home Of Brother West, I thought to myself, What a glorious meeting there has been on the other side. Franklin has been waiting for his companion, with others that have passed before.
Only a few days ago it was my privilege to be at the funeral of Henry P. Richards, the youngest brother Of Franklin D. Richards.
