Transcription

Solomon Custer and his wife are diving into matters concerning the spirit land. They claim to be receiving daily intelligence under spiritual control and the following hymn was given them as a correct reading of mullenberg's hymn, "I Would Not Live Always": I should love to live always; I am willing to stay, Where shunshine and flowers enliven the day. Where the bright rosy mornings that dawn on us here Are so full of God's beauty and blessings to cheer. Oh who would not live always in God's world of delight Death is but a bright change, as the day follows night; Away with the doctrine of hell and the tomb, For the light of God's gospel will dispel all the gloom We do not, we can not, lvie far from our God, Away from some Heaven, some blissful abode, In some bright sunny dreamland--in some region afar-- We must all live where God is, since God is everywhere.
