The great hope of the Christian is unlike any other. It has in it the germ of eternity. Worldly hopes turn earthward, and the whole earth is strewn with the crumbling fragments of human wishes realized and human glories attained. Time is the great leveler that spreads them all in the dust. But the hope of the Christian time can never efface or corrode. Human pride and human glories are like the grass that perishes; but that upon which God sets the seal of his righteousness can never pass away. The human thus stamped with the royal seal is more precious than the golden wedge of Ophir. Even gold is not imperishable; but by the divine alchemy of God's accomplished purpose the child of earth may be.
