Excerpt from Christian Mourning: A Funeral Discourse, Occasioned by the Death of Mrs. Sarah Hibben, Consort of Col. James Hibben, on the 26th July, 1827 Especially when death approaches with all his ter rours, either to remove the desire of their eyes with a stroke, or to conduct themselves down to the grave, the real followers of the Redeemer find in the gos pel an unfailing support, a strong consolation. It is just there - where earthly helpers are powerless, and the lights of worldly hope are utterly quenched - that Christianity unveils her brightest prospects, and cau ses her richest blessings to cluster round the gloomy entrance of Eternity.
