The Heavenly Mansion

Reverend Charles A. Goodrich preached a sermon titled “The Heavenly Mansion” at the First Congregational Church in Berlin. The sermon was delivered on December 20, 1837, at Mrs. Martha Robbins’s funeral. Mrs. Robbins had died on December 15, 1837. Although the sermon’s exact substance is not mentioned here, people who were grieving Mrs. Robbins’ loss are probably comforted and given spiritual guidance by it. The term alludes to ideas about the afterlife and the prospect of endless repose in paradisiacal places.
