Book Description
Here we have another book from the author of the popular book, 'Heliotropium'. Failure to reflect on eternity has at all times in man's history been a fundamental cause of sin. There are always many, alas too many, who, if they do not actually deny an eternal life, yet live as if they had no belief in it. "In an thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin" (Ecclus. vii. 40). The consideration of eternity is as necessary in one age as in another. The present day is no exception. "With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart." (Jer. xii. 11.) God has prepared for the good an eternal reward, and for the wicked an eternal punishment. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (Mat. xxv. 34.) "Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels" (Mat. xxv. 41). These are the words of Christ Who is to come to judge both the living and the dead. Is it not worth our while to meditate and reflect upon them? Most Catholic homes are too poorly equipped with Catholic books treating of man's deepest concerns.And what can be of deeper concern to a man than how he shall spend eternity? "For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?" (Mat. xvi. 26.) We of this day need the spiritual strength to be derived from such a book as this to resist the frivolous and sinful tendencies that threaten to carry us away.Dear Reader, you and I, willing or unwilling, are one day to be ushered into the realm of eternity. We know what it is. God, the infal1ible Truth, has declared it to us in unmistakable language. Reflect seriously, then, on the considerations here presented.Learn to love this book. Let it be a fountain from which you will drink often. It will help you to gain eternal life, to escape eternal death. You may not find it necessary to inform you of the struggle waged by the Powers of Darkness against the Powers of Light for the possession of your soul. But you will find it an encouragement to put all your strength on the side of the Powers ofLight.

Book Description
Excerpt from Considerations on Eternity This preface will not begin with an apology for the publication of another book on eternity. For no apology is needed. Anything that will lead men to think of their eternal destiny should be accorded a welcome. I was told, only a short time ago, "there is too much eternity, eternity, about this book." But how can this be true when we are all rushing on to eternity, and always liable to be seduced by the devil into the eternity of the damned? Failure to reflect on eternity has at all times in mans history been a fundamental cause of sin. There are always many, alas too many, who, if they do not actually deny an eternal life, yet live as if they had no belief in it. In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin (Ecclus. vii. 40). The consideration of eternity is as necessary in one age as in another. The present day is no exception. "With desolation is all the land made desolate; because there is none that considereth in the heart." (Jer. xii. 11.) God has prepared for the good an eternal reward, and for the wicked an eternal punishment. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
