NOTE. The funeral sermon of Eliakim Hall, Esq., is [in 1880] in possession of his descendant, Dr. Jared Linsly, of New York. The compiler of this genealogy found a copy in 1842, at the house of Isaac Hall in Wallingford, Vy., from which he took the following outline, Text, 21 : iv:
1. There shall be no pain in heavan arising from uneasy reflections, as remores of conscience, or from any of those things which tease the mind in this life.
2. No pain in heaven arising from fear of future evil.
3. No pain from fear of losing happiness or pleasure in the presence of the Redeemer.
4/ No pain arising from bodily disorders.
5. There will be no cause of pain, as there will be no sin, and no curse.
6. There will be no need of pain to embitter sin, to mortify remaining corruption; to brighten graces; to convince of the vanity of earthly pleasures, and enjoyments; to remind of mortality; and to reconcile us to death.
REFLECTIONS
1. Advantages of saints in heavan over those on earth.
2. This should make is patient under trials, while looking for and expecting the happy exchange.
3. The importance of being of that happy number, contrast the two states beyond this world.
4. The subject teaches to moderate our grief at the loss of Christian friends; and make it our concern to be ready to follow them.
