Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon Preached on the Occasion of the Death of the Rev. Robert McGill, Minister of St. Paul's Church, Montreal
It is the future state of the blessed in Heaven, of which the Saviour speaks in these words; and there are two ideas in them, in regard of that state, on which it may be profit able for us to dwell for a little. The First is, that in that state, there shall be no such change, at any subsequent period, in the manner of the soul's being, as that produced by death. The Second is that of endless existence. The latter of these is so transcendently great, that it does, as it were, cast the former into the shade, and the mind scarcely dwells on it at all. Yet is it important in two points of View First, as fitted to minister comfort to the believer. Secondly, as throwing light on the nature of the future state, and giving us an important element of distinction, between that state and the present.
