He charged them to make their preparation now closing, by bringing before their minds that great day when the Judge of the earth would summon before him every soul he had made.

None could escape his all-piercing eye; the king and his subject, the rich and the poor the strong and the weak, the learned and the ignorant the white and the colored, the master and his slave! each to render his or her account for the deeds done in the body.
The servants were extremely attentive, listening with breathless interest as he enlarged upon the awful events of the Judgment.

Many a tear fell, many a heart throbbed, many a soul stretched forth her wings toward the kingdom and glory which had been the clergyman's theme.

Nancy and Isaac, her only relatives, were near the coffin, and Mr.Weston and the clergyman followed them.
