Preface

The doctrine of the resurrection as taught and exemplified by Christ is the most comforting of all the doctrines in the Christian religion. It cheers the bereaved heart with the hope of a happy reunion with the loved ones in heaven. It is the morning star that shines across the "dark valley and shadow of death" and heralds the dawn of eternity's day. It is the crowning work of human redemption, without which Christianity would be a failure. To cheer the despondent; to comfort the bereaved; to strengthen the weak; to inspire the doubting, this work is written. May it have this gracious effect upon the heart of the reader, is the humble wish and prayer of

The Author.
