PREFACE

………………

WE KINDLY ASK THE READER to compare the words of this booklet with the Word of God. What I have written has not been with an unkind nor unfriendly spirit, and I hope no one will take offense. My object has been to exalt Christianity to her rightful throne, and plainly mark out the Christian way, that we all may live to the glory of God, and gain a home in Heaven.

Your in Christian hope and love,

Charles E. Orr

INTRODUCTION

………………

My Dear Friend,

We have come to have a short, earnest talk with you about Heaven and the way that leads to that better land. In all the realm of thought and conversation, there is no sweeter theme than that of Heaven. Oh, what pleasantness there is associated with the thoughts and hopes of spending an eternity in the blissful fields of that glory world. As we look upon the pale, lifeless form of some dear one whose spirit has flown away — what a comfort comes to our sorrowing heart, when we have reason to hope they have gone to Heaven.

There are frequent occurrences along the journey of life which remind us that we are only pilgrims, traveling to an eternal beyond, to which we may be called any day. It may be we have been in imminent danger and narrowly escaped the blow that severs the thread of life. It may be the sick chamber. It may be the news of someone who has departed this life, or the vacant seats around our own hearthstone. All these remind us that it is “appointed unto men once to die.” We cannot forbear remarking here, “Be ready: for in such an hour as you think not” the call may come to you. Surely you can not fail to comprehend the necessity of living every hour in such a way that, should the summons come, you could go softly and peacefully to your eternal rest.

There are no aching hearts in Heaven; no troubled breasts nor careworn brows. There is no sorrow there; neither pain nor tears. With such a place of eternal blessedness set before us — is it not wisdom to “give diligence to make your calling and election sure”?

The Savior said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you.” In the trying hours of life, when all seems to have forsaken us and the world appears unfriendly; life’s burdens seem to be heavy, and a despondent feeling steals over our spirit — what a comfort to our trusting soul, is the remembrance that there is an eternal home prepared for us, “There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.” There is room enough in Heaven for all who will walk in the way that leads to that desired destination.

While the thoughts of Heaven are beautiful, there may be other thoughts that come like a blight over the spirit of many. Man is prone to draw a veil over the scenes that awaken thoughts of torment and woe; he invites thoughts of Heaven — but banishes thoughts of Hell. There is no pleasantness in the thoughts of eternal punishment. To think of spending an eternity in Hell — brings a terror to the soul. Whatever may be our feelings or thoughts — either Heaven or Hell shall be the eternal destination of all mankind. These two places are set before all who inhabit the earth. There is a way that leads from earth to Heaven — and there is a way that leads from earth to Hell. The way to Heaven is called the way of life; the way to Hell is called the way of death. These ways are set before every man. He can take the way of life and gain Heaven — or, he can take the way of death and make his bed in Hell: “This day I call Heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life!” Deuteronomy 30:19
