Excerpt from Beyond the Horizon, or Bright Side Chapters on the Future Life
There are those who evince indifference to the subjects discussed in this volume. It is assumed that, since nothing can be surely known concerning the future life, the time necessary to its study may be better employed in analyzing the relations and learning the duties which belong to the life that now is. Inquiry about the future is deemed unpractical and, therefore, of no appreciable value. It is assumed by people of this supposed practical habit of mind that they represent, in their estimate of "other-worldliness," the convictions and feelings of the more cultured and thoughtful.
A ministry extending through three decades has given the author of this little volume opportunities to observe the relative interest of the churchgoing public in the various legitimate themes of pulpit discourse. It is his observation that there is a wider and deeper interest in the discussion of questions relating to the future life than in any other. This is natural. From the homes of most of us at least one has passed into the spirit world.
