“ALEXANDER THE GREAT,” says Archbishop Trench, “being upon his death-bed, commanded that when he was carried forth to his grave his hands should not be wrapped, as was usual, in cerecloths, but should be left outside the bier, that all men might see them, and might see that they were empty.”
This is a great Bible truth. “We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. We come into life empty-handed. So we go out when life shall close. If we would have possessions in the life to come, we must now lay up treasure in heaven.
