Eternal

Greville MacDonald, noted physician, author and first son of George MacDonald, [ http://research.hrc.utexas.edu:8080/hrcxtf/view?docId=ead/00082.xml ] was born on this day in 1856. He would later, on the urging of Lewis Carroll, pose for Alexander Munro’s statue of a boy and a dolphin. http://www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/munro/1b.html

All four of the men named above are long dead. For a short while, works created by and about them will preserve their memories. But, if they died in the Lord, they and their deeds are eternal.

Revelation 14:13
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
