Of this article, is introduced with an able preface

holiness in heart and life. Although, as be- init.

inAtion, there are doubtless mnltitudes who will
welcome a work protesting to remove ths veil
from the sublime realities of another world, ard
fortiiying its positions with & powerful array of
facts and reRsOnings.
