Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 19: March, 1916
Relative to the condition of the spirits of men after death, he says: There are two places the Book of Mormon tells us of, in language that cannot be misunderstood, to which the spirits of men go, while their bodies lie in the tomb awaiting the resurrection.
See Alma -14. These passages describe, first a place which is called paradise, where there is a state of rest and of peace, where the righteous are received; and a place of darkness to which the wicked and rebellious are consigned, where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Here the wicked remain in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they re main in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of the resurrection.
