Grounds of Hope for the Salvation of All Dying in Infancy: An Essay (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Grounds of Hope for the Salvation of All Dying in Infancy: An Essay

To parents who have been called to resign their beloved infants to the grave, the investigation pro posed, acquires an interest and an importance, far beyond all which arises from sentiments of general benevolence: it appears awfully momentous. The bereaved bosom, chilled with its loss, cannot catch a glow sufficiently cheering and satisfactory, from some general and indefinite persuasion, that those who were so dear on earth, are happy in heaven. In such cases, when less interested, we can more easily come to a decision; for a heart deeply affected is suspicious in proportion as it loves. Hence, there arise causes of doubt, which had not previously occurred; and if ten degrees of satis faction can be obtained, nine will leave an aching void.
