The Use of Time

By Congregationalist

"What use are you making of it?" We asked this of a young man who has been reading for years, apparently for his own amusement. Does he tell somebody of the things he has read? Does he give others a thirst for knowledge? And so of leisure. If you are blest with time at your command what use are you making of it? It is as valuable to the world as your money, and even more so. Many, possibly most, play at life. For some it seems a comedy, for others a tragedy, but for few intense earnestness with a use for everything. Too many people seem to be like the children who build snow men only for the pleasure of knocking them down. "We play cards every evening," said a young lady to us recently. And we judged so from the very little knowledge she seemed to have gained in life.—Congregationalist.
