The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart- and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace- they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. --Isaiah 57-1-2---1- The death of the righteous-2- A time to lay to heart and consider-3- The blessedness of the righteous beyond the grave--This sermon was preached following the death of Mr Clifford Woodhouse, Pastor of Bethel Baptist chapel, South Chard, Somerset on the previous Friday - 25 June 2022
