{"product_id":"2940013671812","title":"RAYS OF LIGHT IN THE VALLEY OF SORROW","description":"These pages are submitted to the Christian public with a desire to throw a ray of light across some pathway darkened by affliction. We have often wished for a small volume which we could put into the home made desolate by death, and thereby convey instruction which could not well be spoken. \"To comfort them for the dead,\" and \"give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or their mother.\" If this should be received with favor for this purpose, it will be a source of gratitude and praise to God.\u003cbr\u003eIt is not designed as an argumentative discussion of the topics presented, but simply, to show some of the elements of comfort and hope that abound in the established doctrines of the Holy Scriptures.\u003cbr\u003eIt was our intention to insert a chapter of our own on \"The Recognition of Friends in Heaven,\" but by the kindness of Mrs. R. Nelson, a manuscript upon that subject, written by her late lamented husband, Rev. R. Nelson, D. D., late Agent of the Methodist Episcopal Book Concern of New York, was placed in our hands with the privilege of using it. This we have given as the closing chapter.\u003cbr\u003eWe remember when Dr. Nelson preached on this subject at our camp-meetings, and listening thousands stood enchanted by the spell of his eloquence; when vast audiences wept as he presented, with his whole soul on fire, the comforting aspects of his favorite theme. The warm heart, the deep emotion, the noble soul, projected themselves into the spoken word, and enkindled feeling and inspiration in all hearts. That voice is silent now, but we are glad of the opportunity of putting these thoughts of our noble friend into permanent form, and within reach of those who held him in high esteem and affection.\u003cbr\u003eThe whole is sent forth with the earnest hope that it may glorify God and comfort the hearts of men.\u003cbr\u003eH.
