"PASSING ON"
Sir,-Strangely, your versatile contributor "Sundowner" appears to think it very amusing for the death of a loved. one to be referred to as "passing" or "passing away." "Passed away where?" he is "tempted to ask." He need not go far for the answer. It is to be found in that Book which is the acknowledged guide of our Queen and of millions of her subjects. In that Book (described in the Coronation Service as the most precious thing this world affords) we have these words in Saint Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians (the quotation is from the Bishop of London’s The New Testament Letters paraphrased, published by the Oxford Press): "I know that when the time comes for me to fold up this feeble tent and steal away I
shall have a home with God, a house built without hands, eternal; in heaven." "Passed on?" Why not, "Sundowner?" There is no death,
A. H.
