A Voice From Afar Comments

His voice from afar could be from heaven. So he sees no need for his friends to weep for him when he is gone. 'I still am near; ' He is still in contact with the smiles which he loved on earth..There is a sea of glass before God's Throne and on its shore he and others find rest and share in 'God's knowledge, and are blest'. This is Newman's vision of what heaven could be for a Christian, but a vision wholly dependent on faith not experience.
