Special Notices by A. I. Root 



"hkavrn axi> oue sainteh IjOvkd ones." 



The above is the title of a little pamphlet of 24 

 pages sent out by the Rev. E. W. Pfaffenberger, 

 editor of the Western Christian Union, Boonvillc, 

 Mo. It may be had for 10 cents, or 20 copies for 

 $1.00, by addressing as above. 



As a rule I do not favor any attempt to tell us 

 what heaven is like or what will happen after death. 

 .V careful study of I he Hiblei, it seems to me, indi- 

 cates that God the Father has not seen fit to tell 

 us very much about it. The book mentioned has 

 been read by many with great pleasure, and has 

 been the means of liringing comfort to many a be- 

 reaved .soul when lovi-d ones were taken away. The 

 nnmerons ((notations fiom scripture bearing on tho 

 matter, gallic-red 1oL'''ther, arc valuable.
