The Higher Circle of Saints
Do nothing to-day that you would be likely to repent of to-morrow. “WORLDLINGS are eager to find access to what are called ‘the higher circles.’ For this they study, labor, make haste to be rich, indulge in flatteries, do ignoble homage. But after they gain access, what then? It is but vanity and vexation of spirit. ‘The fashion of the world passeth away;’ the gilded scene is but for a moment; the highest circles disappear like the fleeting visions of the night. But look at the higher circle to which saints are admitted! Here is the portraiture given by the apostle: ‘But ye are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.’”—Zion’s Herald.
