Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Own Lives: The Brook of Judgment
It can be nothing new to thoughtful readers, that good and evil are subject to law; that their results are in scribed ou the lives of those in whom they find a home 5 or that judgment over all the Spheres they occupy is administered by Christ. The laws of retribution are old acquaintances of our race and the deepest thoughts we are likely to have regarding them have probably been reached and expressed thousands of years ago. But this does not affect the duty of studying these laws. This cannot grow old. And we may gain a certain freshness of view and impression by looking at old facts through new mediums, especially if the mediums be as suggestive and true as the books of judgment.' For the suggestion, and a portion of the proof, that the sealed book' is a book of judgment, I am indebted to Hengstenberg. What has been said by other writers, in elucidation of 'the books' (part Fourth), I have already indicated in this Preface, and in the fullest way exhibited in the concluding chapters of the volume.
