Why then, Christian, shouldest thou fear to die? Thy soul is not, for a moment, to lose that consciousness which is dear to her as her existence. The darkness of death is not, for a moment, to cover thy spirit. The instant thou dost close thine eyes on the world, thy soul opens her joyful vision on the delights of Paradise. And Paradise is but the introduction to that Heaven, where, thy whole nature perfected and glorified, thou shalt taste the fulness of joy, and "be for ever with the Lord." THE END. Printed by R. Gilbert, St. John's-square, London. |
