Nearing Home!
Comforts and Counsels for the Aged
William Schenck, editor, 1868
Oh, how lovely and dignified is old age, when marked by piety and consistency!"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you!" Isaiah 46:4
PREFACE
In this day, when so much labor is expended in producing almost innumerable books for the young, there is danger of our neglecting the aged ones who are about to pass off the stage of life. Yet there is a host of men and women in the decline of life who will be glad to receive a few words of instruction, of sympathy and of kindly cheer. For such this book has been prepared. May God bless it and make it a blessing to all such readers!N.B. Bolded chapters are choice!
Soon I must go down that road from which I will never return!
Prayer of One Nearing Eternity
Piety Exempt from the Decays of Old Age
