Excerpt from Asleep in Jesus: A Funeral Discourse, Preached on Occasion of the Death of Mrs. Geo, A. Gibbs, in the North Presbyterian Church, Chicago, Ill, , November 4, A. D. 1849 "Weep not, she is not dead, but sleepeth." - Luke viii. 52. It is appointed unto all men once to die. Death is but the successor of Sin, by whom his way is prepared, and from whom he derives all his power. Wherever, therefore, the foul footsteps of Sin are found, there is found the path of the Destroyer. Universal as was the guilt of transgression, so universal is the reign of corruption, corruption of the soul, and corruption of the body. And so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Thus has the grave become the common receptacle of the whole human race, the garner into which all are gathered, by that Giant Reaper whose field is the world. All fall alike before his fatal blade, the young and the aged, the high and the low, the rich and the poor, the just and the unjust. And of all it may with truth be said, that they "sleep in the dust." They are called away to an earthy bed, there to lie in stillness and repose, through the long-night which succeeds the day of mortal life.
