Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1901. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER X. THE BLESSED END. "In my Father's house are many mansions."--Jno. 14:2. We come now to consider The Blessed End. How many hopes center around it! Without it life is without a charm. Blot it out, and you have destroyed all hope. The strongest minds that have ever lived have been believers in its existence, and have in one way or another entertained a hope of its final realization. Christ when on earth spake much of heaven. He used it as a means of comforting the sad and despondent. One of the most pathetic incidents related in the Gospels is found in the 14th chapter of John, where Christ just before His departure looking into the faces of His despondent and well-nigh hopeless followers, said: "Let not your hearts be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." How these words, preserved by the Spirit of God, have cheered and comforted many a sad heart since then. Well do I remember my last visit Jg in V UNION *<& THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY When seated by her bedside I read, at her request, these verses. It was a few days before she died. Oh, how they cheered her, as there upon her sick-bed she lay waiting for their full realization. And so thousands upon thousands have been comforted and strengthened. The sceptic tries to convince us that we are foolish in entertaining such a superstition; but it will never be possible, with the history of the past and our experiences of the present, to blot out this hope. Like the little boy who was sailing his kite. It had gone beyond sight, and some one came along and asked him how he knew there was a kite a...
