BY D. L. MOODY. "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it; CHICAGO: F. H. REVELL, 148 AND 150 MADISON STREET. Publisher of Evangelical Literature. ANDOVER-HARVARD THEOLOGICAL LIBRARY H77, 481 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the years 1880 and 1884. by In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. This little book, upon a subject that is very dear to me, has been carefully revised, and is sent forth in the hope that it may give comfort and edification to many; that the weak may be strengthened, the sorrowing consoled, and the despondent encouraged to look with increased faith to that fairest of fair cities in the "Better Land," which is the home of the Redeemer and the redeemed. Many books have been published in this country in my name, but none of them with authority, and the only motive inspiring this small volume is that souls may be helped. NORTHFIELD, MASS., 1880. D. L. MOODY. |
