Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Heaven
A leading divine has recently said When I was a boy I thought of heaven as a great shining city, with vast walls and domes and spires, and with nobody in it except white angels, who were strangers to me. By and by my little brother died, and I thought of a great city with walls and domes and Spires, and a ?ock of cold, un known angels, and one little fellow that I was acquainted with. He was the only one that I knew in that country. Fhen another brother died, and there were two that! Knew. Then my acquaintances began to die, and the number continually grew. But it was not until I had sent one Of my little children back to God, that I beganto think I had a little interest there myself. A second, a third, a fourth went, and by that time I had so many acquaintances in heaven that I did not see any more walls and domes and Spires. I began to think of the residents of the Celestial City. And now so many of my acquaintances have gone there, that it sometlmes seems to me that I know more in heaven than I do on earth.
