Death - of Children
What is the condition of children who die before attaining the age of discretion or before the appointed time of birth?Answer. -- These infants are under the shadow of the favor of God; and as they have not committed any sin and are not soiled with the impurities of the world of nature, they are the centers of the manifestation of bounty, and the Eye of Compassion will be turned upon them.
