What could an unsanctified man do in Heaven, if by any chance he got there? Let that question be fairly looked in the face and fairly answered. No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits and character.

No child should be brought up to suppose that its food and clothes come down from heaven or are miraculously conjured from empty space by papa.
