Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manoah or Promise of the Life That Now Is
Culable increase of suffering and irrecoverable and continuous moral declension. The figurative presentment of the future state is adapted to human conceptions, and, according to the intention of such language, gives shape and substance to abstract or purely spiritual thought. An affluent yet familiar imagery affords not so much a description as a standard of comparison whereby to estimate the blessedness of heaven. Pure gold and precious stones, White raiment, the crown and the harp, unfading light and living fountains, assure us that all that we can apprehend of beauty and delight, of dignity and permanence, pertains to the abode and being of those Whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
