e passed over Jordan into the
presence of the King.

The funeral took place a week later. Our hearts were sore and the
tears flowing fast as we remembered we should see his face no more. In
some measure we could sympathize with those who were nearest and
dearest to him, and who had lost so much. But through the whole
service a joy note rang out clearly. We felt the very presence of the
Lord, and even all the outsiders were awed and listened attentively to
the message given, in which the evangelist sought to bring home to
their hearts the necessity for receiving Christ and His redeeming
grace, so that their end might be like the one they had so recently
witnessed. Many of them never forgot the peace that kept Mr. Lue's
heart at perfect rest, even when he stood on the brink of the river.
His joy in the Lord under such circumstances was a surprise and a
mystery which would again and again force itself upon their minds.
They asked each other, and they asked us, where that joy came from.

On the morning of the burial, a heathen man came and told us that he
had seen Mr. Lue in his dream the night before. He was walking on a
beautiful shore which must be Heaven, and was so joyful and beautiful.
Mr. Lue had called to him, begging him to come across, and he decided to
go to that glorious place. When starting to go he felt some change
come over him, and at last reached the glory-land where he conversed
with Mr. Lue. This was his dream; but was it not a clear call to that
man to seek the things above? God grant that he may heed the call.

In other ways, too, the Lord spoke to some of the ignorant, idolatrous
people around. He knew just the state of their minds, and what would
appeal to those who as yet had no light. In His tender mercy He sought
their lost souls, and spoke to them in a language they could
understand. Some of them said to one another, "Well, it is strange,
the God of the Christians does seem to care for them. They refuse to
choose days like we do, and yet every Christian has died on a lucky
day. We can choose our days for the funerals, but we cannot choose
lucky days for those dying. But God does that for those who worship
Him."

Poor benighted souls. They do not know that to the God of the
Christians all days are alike, but in His love He teaches them
according to their understanding. How great is His long-suffering! It
was a great help to me to see how the Lord did not despise their
ignoran
