BE NOT DECEIVED.

WE have the admonition in God's Word: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." We see the result of sin everywhere, but still men keep on sowing and reaping, not learning lessons from others. They seem to think they will not reap what they sow, but something better. Or they lay the blame of sin on our first parents and then keep on in disobedience instead of turning toward the things of life. It is no unusual thing to see the dead carried to their resting places in the dust, and those who know them are not ignorant of what the harvest will be. O, to live so that every one will know, when death comes to us, that we shall reap everlasting life! —Selected.
