(Alexander, "Thoughts
on Religious Experience")
I have
often been shocked with the thought,
that while a man's eulogy is being pronounced upon
earth--his poor soul may be writhing and blaspheming
in the torments of hell!
"The rich man also died and was buried.
In hell, where
he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far
away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him--
Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,
because I am in agony in this fire!" Luke 16:22-24
