"are you not afraid of -going to "bed
every night?"
"It is appointed to man. mee to
die and after that the judgement,"
is the way Holy Scripture expressed
it.Certain as the fact of death is,
yet the time and circumstances re
main uncertain. This uncertainly
leads many to put of the thought of
the inevitable. They promise them
selves unlimited years of life in
this world and fail to provide for
life in the next world. They forget
that death may come suddenly; that
it may take us early in life; and
that upon that certain, yet uncer
tain, moment hinges an eternity.
Hjr any man to live his life and
never give a serious thought to his
approaching death is nothing short
of foolishness, fortunately, for
those who do take thought .n this
subject, God has sent his >wn Son
to give us the perfect meditation
on death: "What does it profit a
man if he gain the whole w prld and
suffer the loss '•f his soul."
