Description:Excerpt from The White Robed Company: A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of Mrs. J. W. Boynton, Preached in the Village Church, South Coventry, Sabbath, May 5th, 1850 It is through great tribulation that the saints enter the heavenly state. Go and knock at the door of that great tomb which contains the precious dust that Christ watches over in its long slumber till the glorious morning of the resurrection, and ask how many perished by disease and the ordinary death of man; what multitudes have been all their life-time subject to bondage through fear of a persecuting foe; how many have been hunted like wild beasts from one hiding place to another till death was welcome! how many have dwelt long in damp and loathsome dungeons! how many have been thrown to wild beasts! how many have felt instruments of torture; how many have perished in the indiscriminate slaughter of persecution; how many have been burned at the stake! "And I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held, and they cried with a loud voice, saying, how long Oh Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth." The saints who are permitted to live in outward peace come out of great tribulation. It was in view of spiritual struggles, which every child of God feels, that a holy apostle exclaimed, "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death!" The spiritual conflicts of the Christian, the struggles of opposing principles within him, occur in silence and darkness, but they are often terrible and agonizing. The saints are not exempted from the common woes of humanity. They taste the bitter cup of disappointment. They see and pass through the dark and deep waters of affliction. They feel the sundering of earthly ties. They know what it is to wish to lie down in the grave with some loved object. They have felt a void that can never be filled. They have seen the earth grow dark and desolate under the heavy hand of God. They are made often to feel that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They are brought often to a deep sense of their sins under the heavy chastisements of God. They are often made to sigh and long for their final rest under the burdens of life. The whole course of the Christian's life is sometimes one of sorrow and anguish. He sees little but darkness in this world, and God is fitting him in it all for the higher enjoyment of the light of heaven.
