We in these pages seek to better acquaint you with this strange and wonderful country, a country where there are no tears or heartaches, no sickness, pain or death. Those who live there never grow weary, carry no burdens, and never grow old. No one ever says goodbye, and there are none of life's disappointments there. In this country you will find that there is no sin, for no one does wrong. You will travel for thousands of miles and never see a cemetery or meet a funeral procession, for on one ever dies. Nothing ever spoils there. Flowers never lose their fragrance; leaves are always green. There are no thunderstorms, no erupting volcanoes, no earthquakes. Upon those fair shores hurricanes and tital waves never beat. There are no germs or fevers, no pestilences of any kind. And it is always light, for there is no night there. No clouds ever darken the sky; no harsh winds ever blow. There are no drunkards in that country, for no one ever drinks. None are immoral -- men as well as women are pure. Prisons, jails and reformatories never darken its landscape. Doors have no locks, windows no bars, for thieves and robbers never enter there. No lustful books are read; no sexy pictures shown. No taxes are paid, no rent collected. And it is a country free from war and bloodshed. Yes -- and no cripples are to be seen; none are deformed or lame. Nor is anyone blind, deaf or dumb, for all are healthy and strong. No beggars are seen on the streets, for none are destitute. Leprosy and cancer, palsy and tuberculosis are words never heard in this country! No asylums are there, for none are feeble-minded. Doctors are never needed, and hospitals are unknown. What country is this? It is called Heaven, the home of the saved, where God shall be with us and be our God. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Rev. 21:4). Let these great men of God tell you what is yet in store for all who have trusted the Saviour! Unsaved friend, do you not want to go to such a country? Then why not get ready now? It isn't difficult. All you have to do is trust Christ as your Saviour. Then when the journey of life is ended, you too can go to this wonderful country and dwell there forevermore. - Curtis Hutson - Jacket flap.
