Large Price for “Experience”
A FAMILY of ignorant Siberian peasants recently arrived on foot, after traveling three thousand miles in six months, at Tomsk, Siberia, with a supposed fortune in gold. They found, on arrival at the mint, that the value of the treasure was ten dollars. There are millions of people making a longer journey which will end with their lives, and they will find the treasure which they are carrying worth even less than that. Such are all they that obtain riches or public place or reputation in the church by violation of the law of God—not by right or pleasure. “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”—New York Christian Advocate.
