O NE OP THE MOST PRECIOUS things in all the world is babies. The death of babies, salvation of babies and what happens to babies when they die makes an interesting study. The Bible does not give us too much information on the subject, therefore, I suggest at the outset that much of our discussion will need to be for our consideration from what we can deduct.
