Show EEV. ROBERT H. HARPER Imitt T bin ft Eltrnsl Much 1 being written and spoken about the prosperity of our country coun-try at the present tima. Our people are almost satiated with material things. There are two ways in which men regard such things. They may forget the Great Giver and be content with that which will perish with the using, or they may so use the things God has given that when they fall they may be received Into the everlasting ever-lasting habitations. And Paul writes that the "things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal " Consider, then, that nothing you can see with the mortal eyes will endure. Tha things you can see may burn to ashes and the ashes be scattered to the four winds of heaven. They may rust, tarnish, wither, and decay. They cah be changed beyond anything hitherto known of them. They can become valueless by use and ruined by frequence. And one day we must quit this transitory world, for another that will be determined by the way we are living now. Only that which no mortal eyes can see will outlast "the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds." So, In the midst of the abundant things that are seen let us look to that which Is not seen. And let us cherish the hope that we may so use the things that God has given us that we shall help to make the place where we live that it shall be a good place for everybody to live. |
