Excerpt from By-Laws and Rules of Mountain View Cemetary Association: With History and Appendix

It is permitted to him, among the distinguished privileges of intellectual and moral being, to prepare for that event as the certain and inevitable issue of his earthly relations, yet uncertain in its date and moment. This consideration is a striking testimony that life is moral and disciplinary, and probably has more influences on men than any other single circumstance in their earthly condition to raise their minds by constant and repeated suggestion to the contemplation of eternal things. Its moral and religious import is, that this is not our abiding place, and that all man's labors, enjoyments, and possessions are to be pursued and held as subject to a higher power, whose will is his law. It mingles the Divine Providence in the daily thoughts of men, urging them out beyond the domain of time and sense of the realities of spiritual existence. Thus death, by its constant presence in human life - thousands of our race ascending hour by hour and moment by moment, as the sun's beams draw up the waters of the earth to replenish the cisterns of the sky - is the great teacher of man.

Science regards this earth as the cradle of mankind, implying that this life is but the early morning and infancy of man's being. Science borrows her suggestion from religion. Immortality is the crowning glory of our fame, and this earth, as man's dwelling place, is not understood until it is considered as a part of the divine plan for raising up a universe of souls. The earth culminates in man, and hath no other reason for its existence. The cradle of mankind! I take the suggestion as the keynote of man's destiny. Christian faith affirms of that infancy a promise and fulfillment beyond our power to grasp or conceive. The embarrassment of our minds concerning our immortality arises in the greatness of the truth; we cannot see ourselves on a level with that glory; it is too great for us. A young man can see himself as heir to the paternal estate, but the promises of God are not in that line of descent, and he cannot see his own nature endowed with the powers of an endless life.
