Living for Eternity.

By L. E. Milne

How thrilling the thought that some poor soul may be made an heir of eternal life through our instrumentality. On the other hand, how dreadful the thought that some one may fail of Heaven because of our failing to live for eternity. “We live in deeds, not years.” With the shores of the beautiful city of our God so near, what a powerful incentive to a holy life! Is not the prize worth striving for with all our redeemed powers? Blessed living for endless life in the kingdom of God! Immortality and eternal life are just before us. Shall we not be willing to sacrifice all worldly gain for the rich reward that awaits the overcomer?
“The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of Heaven breaks; The summer morn I’ve sighed for, The fair, sweet morn awakes. Dark, dark, has been the midnight, But dayspring is at hand, And glory—glory dwelleth In Immanuel’s land.”
L. E. MILNE.
