To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Are they dead indeed to all that they cared for, to all that they ever lived to ? We are awed by our ignorance, by our ignorance of that which must be beyond this life of ours, which to them is now so real. We cannot assure ourselves of anything, for we cannot speak with any sort of certainty of a condition of existence which is beyond our com- prehension. We cannot comprehend the spirit's existence apart from the body. The separation of man from man in death is utterly different from any separ...ation of which we know in life. Imagination can pierce the veil which distance in time or space may spread between us and another, but imagination cannot pierce the veil of death. But the Bible speaks to us, as we look on with such baffled hopeless yearnings, and tells us much. It tells us that He our Lord and Master, of whom here we know something, is Lord of the dead as He is Lord of the living. There are relations between Him and them, and such relations as there are between Him and us. He is still to them Jesus Christ.
