The Brevity of Life.

A TRAIN of cars under swift motion, as is that on which I now write, is a very feeble illustration of the swiftness with which our earthly course is being run. Swiftly we haste to its close. We never lose time in this race. Every day, every hour, every minute, counts. Our course is onward with never-varying swiftness. Time flies, death hastens to meet us, and the inevitable Judgment is right before us. A little moment, and we stand before God. Our life, which is only a hand breadth, is accomplished, and the decision of eternity is made. What shall that be with each of us?
