The aim of this book is to console suffering, and to comfort bereaved ones. It seeks to do this, by directing them to look on their cloud of sorrows as spanned and beautified by the rainbow of God"s promises; to consider the importance of having a hold upon eternal realities; to study the character and works of God who "knows our frame and remembers we are dust"; to commit their way to Him who was "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"; and by becoming a valuable assistant to any, who, by sending it to others, may, in this way, extend sympathy and consolation to the afflicted - and thus, Tell to sinners round, What a dear Savior they have found! Its pages are laden with the best thoughts of the most eminent ministers, who, by soul-cheering and loving words, and rich experiences of the deep things of God - have done much to "bind up the broken-hearted," by pointing to the source of all comfort, in the belief that "earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal."
