Synopsis

Excerpt from Heaven Unveiled: Embracing the Reunion and Recognition of Friends, Their Employment and Sources of Happiness, in the Christian's Future Home

How many homes have been broken up how many happy unions severed how many hopes crushed; how many prospects blighted, and how many families stricken by the hand of death! In many circles bereave ments have been of so frequent occurrence, that already more than half the number that once surrounded the old hearthstone have passed away. Sorrowing friends followed them down to the waters of Jordan, but could accompany them no farther. They have disappeared in the darkness of death.

Shall we recognize our friends in the world to come is a question of great interest to all, especially to those who are to-day mourning their beloved dead, and who are journeying with hope towards the better land. Our affection does not cease when the grave closes over those we love, but reaches far beyond it; and how often in our imaginations we follow our friends to the City of our God, and walk with them over the fields of bliss!
