Excerpt from Earthly Trials and Glory of the Immortal Life: Embracing Numerous Examples of the Struggles and Triumphs in Christian Life Standing as we do between the mortal and the immortal, constantly liable to be removed from this into that, it is well to be assured of what awaits us - to be conversant with that which we must meet. The considerations herein expressed are for every household in the land. That they may guide some mind in its search after what is true, - that they may confirm some who are doubting, quicken some who are hesitating, Stir the thoughtless, and help those who have low views to grasp the divine ideal, - is the humble wish of the writer. That the work may carry consolation, to many death smitten circles is the fervent prayer, with the hope that it will also give glad conceptions to all who look upon this picture of the glories of the immortal lefe, inasmuch as its brightest and only worthy tints have been borrowed from the sketches of divinest modelsil; the sacred artists.
