his bones to the land of Canann & they did
so they embalmed his body took it to the land
of Canaan & buryed it with his fathers
their is a glory in this that many do not
comprehend. It is true that in the
resurrection that the bodies will be caught
up to meet the Lord & the saints will all be
brought together though they were scattered
upon the face of the whole earth yet they
would not as readily salute each other as
though they lay down & rose up together
from the same bed. To bring it to the under-
standing it would be upon the same principle
as though two who were vary friends indeed
should lie down upon the same bed at night
locked in each other embrace talking of their
love & should awake in the morning together
they could immediately renew their
conversation of love even while risings from
their bed but if theiy were alone & in
seperate apartments they could not as
readily salute each other as though they
were together. He remarked that should
he live & have an opportunity of gathering
his friends who had died together he intended
to do it but if he should not live to do
it himself he hoped that some of his frie
friends would. He wished all of the
saints to be comforted with the victory
they were to gain by the resurrection
it is sufficient to encorage the saint to
overcome in the midst of evry trial trouble
& tribulation though thunders roar & earth
quakes bellow, lightnings flash & wars are
upon evry hand yet suffer not a joint
to tremble nor let not your heart faint
