The Lord is gracious, merciful, and true. He has permitted the one of your household band who was the most innocent and the best prepared to rest through the perils of the last days. Oh! do not shut up your souls against melody and joy, mourning as though there were to be no resurrection of the dead, but praise God that for her there is no more death, no more trial, no more sorrow. She rests in Jesus until the Life-giver shall call forth His sleeping saints to a glorious immortality. {5T 313.2}

Herren er nådig, barmhjertig og sand. Han har ladet den i jeres hjem, som var den mest uskyldige og bedst beredte, lægge til sig hvile på grund af de sidste dages farer. Oh! luk ikke jeres sjæle for velklang og glæde, knurre som om der ikke der ikke var opstandelse efter døden, men pris Gud for at der ikke mere var død, ikke mere prøvelser, (314) ikke mere sorg. Hun hviler i Jesus, indtil Livgiveren skal kalde sine sovende hellige op til herlig udødelighed.
