'The author of the volume before us endeavours to describe what heaven
is, as shown by the light of reason and Scripture; and we promise the
reader many charming pictures of heavenly bliss, founded upon
undeniable authority, and described with the pen of a dramatist, which
cannot fail to elevate the soul as well as to delight the
imagination.... Part Second proves, in a manner as beautiful as it is
convincing, the DOCTRINE OF THE RECOGNITION OF FRIENDS IN HEAVEN,--a
subject of which the author makes much, introducing many touching
scenes of Scripture celebrities meeting in heaven and discoursing of
their experience on earth. Part Third DEMONSTRATES THE INTEREST WHICH
THOSE IN HEAVEN FEEL IN EARTH, AND PROVES, WITH REMARKABLE CLEARNESS,
THAT SUCH AN INTEREST EXISTS NOT ONLY WITH THE ALMIGHTY AND AMONG THE
ANGELS, BUT ALSO AMONG THE SPIRITS OF DEPARTED SOULS. We unhesitatingly
give our opinion that this volume is one of the most delightful
productions of a religious character which has appeared for some time;
and we would desire to see it pass into extensive
circulation.'--_Glasgow Herald._

MEET FOR HEAVEN.
'The author, in his or her former work, "Heaven our Home," portrayed a
SOCIAL HEAVEN, WHERE SCATTERED FAMILIES MEET AT LAST IN LOVING
INTERCOURSE AND IN POSSESSION OF PERFECT RECOGNITION, to spend a
never-ending eternity of peace and love. In the present work the
individual state of the children of God is attempted to be unfolded,
and more especially the state of probation which is set apart for them
on earth to fit and prepare erring mortals for the society of the
saints.... The work, as a whole, displays an originality of conception,
a flow of language, and a closeness of reasoning rarely found in
religious publications.... The author combats the pleasing and
generally accepted belief, that DEATH WILL EFFECT AN ENTIRE CHANGE ON
THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF OUR SOULS, and that all who enter into bliss
will be placed on a common level.'--_Glasgow Herald._

THERE, FAITH IS CHANGED INTO SIGHT, AND HOPE IS PASSED INTO BLISSFUL
FRUITION.
'This is certainly one of the most remarkable works which have been
issued from the press during the present generation; and we have no
doubt it will prove as acceptable to the public as the two attractive
volumes to which it forms an appropriate and beautiful
sequel.'--_Cheltenham Journal._
