Lectures on Revival -1832- Introductory Essay - Ministers Consider Eternity!

A child is born into the world; but who says, "here is the commencement of a conscious existence, which shall never end — here is a nature that will suffer no decay through endless ages — here is a spark of intellectual light just kindling into radiance, which will outlive the bright sun—witness the death of time, and retain its intelligence, its consciousness, its feeling, for ever - and maintain its perception of good and evil, and its moral connection with the supreme Spirit, through untold and unimaginable duration. The birth of such a being is little, or not at all, contemplated in reference to its eternity of existence, its immensity of suffering or of joy." George Redford - 1832 - Introductory Essay To Lectures On Revival, William B. Sprague.
