Synopsis

Blessed Are The Dead Which die In The Lord. A Sermon On Rev. XIV. 13 Addressed To The Inmates Of Partis College On. The First Anniversary After The Decease Of The Foundress. With An Appendix Containing Some Account Of The College And Of The Foundress (Mrs. Partis) by Samuel Holland. This sermon, delivered on the first anniversary of the Foundress's death in 1846 at Partis College, discusses the Christian consolation surrounding death, the promise of rest for the faithful, and the hope of heavenly reward. It contrasts earthly life with the joys of heaven, explains the resurrection, and emphasizes charity and piety as manifested by the Foundress. The Appendix recounts the founding of the college near Bath, the endowment of its houses, the selection of inmates, and a detailed record of Mrs. Partis's philanthropic contributions to numerous charities and educational causes. The work blends doctrinal reflection with institutional history, illustrating a unique example of Christian benevolence and church life in 19th-century Britain.
