Beauty for Ashes, or the Old and the New Doctrine, Concerning the State of Infants After Death, Contrasted (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Beauty for Ashes, or the Old and the New Doctrine, Concerning the State of Infants After Death, Contrasted

And we are taught that man was originally made in the image and likeness of this One Good. There fore all the finite expressions of this Good, are always pleasing to men in the degree that their moral integ rity has been preserved, or the lovely image of their Maker been retained. They interest and attract every mind, from which the native hues of innocence have not faded or been blotted out.

And yet the interest which most men feel in the beautiful, the good, and the true, is often enhanced by contrast with their opposites. Beauty never appears so attractive, as when exhibited along with deformity.
