REFLECTIONS OF DEATH.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  When we are called upon to bid adieu to our near and dear friends in the morning of life, around whose hearts the spell of affection has entwined a wreath of friendship that grows brighter and brighter as life's busy scene wears away, our minds are naturally led to reflect on the various vicissitudes and changes to which human life is subject. The uncertainty of life, and the certainty of death, are then brought before us in their awful reality; and our thoughts are naturally directed to the boundless eternity that lies beyond, where all is darkness and doubt, save to him whose mind is enlightened by the Christian religion, which alone, in such seasons of darkness and distress, is capable of giving consolation and support to the lacerated bosom.
