Preface

This book is not launched upon the literary sea because of its classic merit, but comes from earnest entreaties of those who love the truth, and much prayer and study. It is, therefore, sent forth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to spread the truth of God's Word, and enable the people to understand the Holy Scriptures.

May the Spirit of truth enlighten the heart of each reader of this book, and the blessings of God the Father and God the Son follow the reading of these words of truth for all time to come.

It is the puriDose of the author to excite a deeper feeling for the Sabbath day, and to urge forward acts corresponding to the feelings awakened.

"When the dust shall return to the earth as it was, shall the spirit return to God who gave it?

When the brain and heart and nerves are destroyed, when the sun is old and the stars grow cold, and all you ever saw is swept away into nothingness, wull this mysterious, lonely self remain to say T and ^my' and ^mine' and ^me,' through all the ages of eternity?"

If the truth contained in this book may bring each reader to fully realize what you mean to the God who created you and lovingly planned for you your magnificent destiny. If the soul within you will feel its dignity, its priceless importance in the eyes of its Maker, then my prayer has been realized.

The Author.

Remarks

Why should I commend this book on such a controverted subject to the consideration of all seekers after truth ?

.Firsts because the Holy Spirit of God has given direction to me to write this truth.

Second, because some of God's people expressed an earnest desire for me to write on this subject. Therefore, with much prayer and study of God's Word, I write this for the glory of God and the propagation of Bible truth.
