For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Ecclesiastes 9:4
"With what intense anxiety the mind turns to the future.
Sternly the grave closes its heavy portals against every attempt to catch a glimpse of the unknown beyond.
Science proves itself a fool on this momentous question.
The imagination breaks down ;
and the human mind, unaided, sinks into a melancholy, despair."
Uriah Smith
