Bereaved disciple of the Saviour, think not that your friends and kindred in Christ, of whom death has robbed you, are lost to you forever. They are now your sainted treasures — precious as the heavenly inheritance itself — and when you yourself enter that "purchased possession," you will find them there. We know that, though unseen, they are still the objects of your holiest emotions, as you think of them moving amongst "the spirits of the just made perfect," or hope to be the sharers of their eternal glory. Follow us, then, as we lead you to the word of God, and from its inspired pages prove that you will yet recognize your beloved ones who have gone to Jesus; and that when, through grace, you yourself reach the land of the immortals, they and you shall — in the bonds of a restored and unbroken fellowship — rejoice together, and forever, amongst "the saints in light."
