Excerpt from The Better Land: Or, the Believer's Journey and Future Home In leaving the literal home, and in prosecuting a literal journey, travellers should cherish a prayerful desire that all they meet with may be sanctified. There is a religious use to be made of the eyes and ears, and all the incidents of an excursion. The very conveniences and inconveniences Of travelling, the impudence and imposition encountered, bring hallowed hints to a devout mind, touching the Better Land. There will be no noise, no rude ness, no fatigue there; no want of suitable accommodations; no perilous locomotion, nor one jarring vehicle in all that world; no deceptive, petulant, profane guides; angels never ask for fees In our Father's house are many mansions, but no confined, ill-ventilated, infectious rooms. Bolts are not required bills are not presented; police are not needed in the New Jerusalem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
