^^^^HE object of this little volume is to give comfort
to the mourner. The author has lonsr felt the
need of some book Avhich treats upon specific01
cases affliction,of to put into the hands of those whose
friends have been taken from them
; and he has gath-
ered a number of addresses made on funeral occasions,
taken away the pulpit style, interspersed them with ap-
peals to the heart and conscience of the reader, and
bound them together under the title, selected by the
publisher, "of Angel "Whispers."
His desire is, that the book may prove a source of
comfort to those who have been called, in the provi-^
dence of God, to weep over blasted hopes, and ruined^
expectations, and lead them away to the^ everlasting source

of consolation and hope. If it does succeed in the ac-
of this, he -will feel that his labor has notcomplishment
been in vain.
May the God of the mourner bless to the torn and dis-
these plain and simpletracted heart instructions, and
make them efficacious in drying the widow's tears, and
imparting joy to the heart of the orphan.
