Overview
A notice to emigrants offering 'free passage' with 'the utmost care and comfort bestowed on every passenger'. The 'passenger' is taken aboard the Gospel ship on a journey to glory with this being the only vessel that can succeed in reaching Emmanuel's land. Emmanuel's land, also referred to as Immanuel's Land, refers to an idyllic and heaven like place where Christ is the King. To be in Immanuel's land means to belong to Christ, whose name is Immanuel, "God with us" (Isaiah 7:17, Matthew 1:23).
