A dreadful release!

(Richard Hill, 1732-1808)

When a poor lost soul dies, who has long lingered under some painful bodily disease, it is often said, "It is good for him that he is released from his pain."

Yet it is a dreadful release-from earth to Hell!

"The rich man also died and was buried.
 In Hell, where he was in torment . . . "
    Luke 16:22-23
