Our Horizon

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D.C. · Mar 17, 1904

OUR horizon depends upon the position of our eyes. If our eyes were in our feet, our horizon would be measured by inches. Providence placed them in our head, and our horizon is measured by miles.

Higher altitude means wider vision. So the good man of old was called a seer; his vision swept far beyond that of his fellows. Abraham saw the day of Christ.

Broader outlook means grander faith. Short-sightedness sees only the near, and declares the battle lost; far-sightedness sweeps the far-off hills, and beholds a conquering host advancing to victory. Our views do not alter facts, but a vision of the victory that is to be acts like the blare of a thousand battle-trumpets upon the church of God. Climbing higher, we shall surely see farther.—Zion's Herald.
