Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermon on the Death of Mrs. Carrie F. Austin, Wife of Rev. F. D. Austin: Preached in East Jaffrey, N. H., Sabbath, Aug; 16, 1863
This language, which the royal Psalmist employed as applicable 'to himself in a time of trial and sorrow, express es beautifully the feelings which the true christian often entertains in trouble, and especially when upon the'bed of sickness and pain he looks forward, in joyful anticipation, to the rest that remains for the people of God. If it were needful to give a reason for selecting it as a theme for meditation on this occasion, when we would recall to mind the lamented death of Mrs. Austin, I might say that the text was often her own language in her sickness, and, pre vious to her sickness and recently, it was expressive of the general purport of her contemplations and her aspirations for heavenly things. I would invite your attention, therefore, to some of the characteristics of the Heavenly Rest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
