I could scarcely refrain from expressing my joy aloud, in the midst of the service. I had in the mean time, an overwhelming sense of the glory of God, as the Great Eternal All, and of the happiness of having my own will entirely subdued to his will. I knew that the foretaste of glory, which I then had in my soul, came from him, that I certainly should go to him, and should, as it were, drop into the Divine Being, and be swallowed up in God.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards</span></li></ul> <div class="cleared"></div> </div> </div> <div class="cleared"></div> </div> </div><div class="art-block widget widget_text" id="text-16"> <div class="art-block-body"><div class="art-blockcontent"> <div class="art-blockcontent-tl"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-tr"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-bl"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-br"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-tc"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-bc"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-cl"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-cr"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-cc"></div> <div class="art-blockcontent-body"> <div class="textwidget"><p>Copyrighted works are the property of the copyright holders.
