We see wisdom displayed, and find law and order in every thing we comprehend which pertains to God and Nature. Phenomena, which for long ages were mysteries, are now, through the lights of science, being fully comprehended and made plain to all. And, by reasoning from analogy, new arts and sciences are comprehended, while each additional light gained flashes upon some other hidden mystery, and reveals in it nothing but law and order, in all its arrangements.
The progress made of late in the arts and sciences is wonderful indeed; yet this is only the progress of the mind of man, and the enlightenment of his intellect. And we believe that the next decade of years will develop facts which might startle the minds of the wisest of to-day to contemplate.
That vast world—surrounded by the Sun—controls this Earth and its other surrounding planets. From that world, and Sun—in its offices—we derive every blessing while on Earth, and we cannot doubt but that when we find our future, IT WILL BE THERE. The righteous to dwell within where, we have shown you, the Sun does not or cannot shine; but where the glory of God is the light of the holy place, and yet we have the evidence that one of the offices of the Sun will be the punishment of the wicked who cannot enter that Heavenly World.
"Whoso is wise will observe these things." Psalms, cvii.
WILL ALL TAKE HEED?

Gentle reader, we are about to take our leave of you. We have penned the lines which compose this volume at short intervals obtained recently from a laborious professional life. Our mind has been duly impressed with the correctness of the views we have advanced. Indeed, to disbelieve them, would seem to disbelieve Divine revelations, and let the mind become again shrouded with impenetrable mystery in regard to the place of our future habitation, and of the manner and mode of the spirit's transit thither after the death of the body. All should remember that they will be held accountable for the light and knowledge they receive.
We feel fully assured that our hypothesis as to the location of Heaven—as also that of Hell—is well founded and fully sustained by God's own revelations, both as recorded in the Bible, and as seen in visible nature. As to the "Spirit of God as fire," we have presented such evidence as Divine revelations have furnished us, and only added to these such as reason, as the perceptive faculties of all, do or may comprehend, and we do not see wherein the Christian World can found any objections to our conclusions.
