Heaven: Six Sermons (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Heaven: Six Sermons

Heavenward again, a smile is upon our lips. Now, as a preface to his own words concerning heaven, we briefly trace the rarely beautiful and brilliant career of this man of God. He was good, and true, and strong. He was brave to lead, heroic to suffer and endure. He was a man of piety, of deep Spiritual experience and knowledge, anointed to preach the gospel of Christ. His native gifts and his rich culture, his clear thought and eloquent utterance. And the Providence which called him to positions of large trust, made him a minister whose ser vice exalted him, and whose successful, though brief, life was a shining light to all who knew him. The crown of life that he has won sheds.

Excerpt from Heaven: Six Sermons

When, in the hush that falls upon a completed life, the spirit of a just man is made perfect, it is hard to turn back from our gazing into heaven to trace again the earthly way by which that soul came to the heights of its transfiguration. But love demands again the old familiar paths, and it is found that the footprints in the vanishing dust are the very least that remains to guide men as they tread where their companion has trod. Everywhere the air is scintillant with gleaming inspirations. The atmosphere is laden with the aroma of holiness. Men and women and children arise to call him blessed. The lamp that he kindled for his own way has given its flame to a thousand others. The words he spoke are yet echoing in many lives.
