Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Purgatory Doctrinally, Practically, and Historically Opened I have yielded to the desire of the author that I would write a few words as an Introduction to this work. I cannot think that a book whose theme is of so general interest, and which has been so seldom treated with any detail, or with any approach to completeness, needs anything beyond itself to commend it to thoughtful readers. If there were such necessity, it is not for me to meet it. I am compelled to turn to the book for my own enlightenment, rather than with any hope of making a substantial addition to the information which it is designed to present. The protracted study and investigation of the author, with his characteristic acuteness of thought and of statement, prepare the reader to be at once instructed and interested. So long as we see men passing out of the world, and stand with strained and tearful eyes watching them as they vanish beyond our sight, so long as we ourselves are hastening into the land which stretches far away from us and from which there is no return, will it be a question of intensest interest into what estate and condition of life men enter when they have gone hence and are not here any more. We ask with an earnestness which is deeper and more sacred than curiosity, and "there comes no answer of reply." Centuries of questioning, ages of longing, have added nothing to our knowledge. If we have learned more of the origin of man, we have gained nothing which explains his destiny. All that we know comes not by study, but by revelation.
