The World Is Not a Friend to Grace

Sister S. J. Kimble writes from Pontiac, Mich.: I have found by experience that this world is not a friend to grace. Some of my young companions with whom I associated, seem to avoid my society. But this is no more than I expected. If they cannot love my precious Saviour who is so worthy, I do not expect them to love me who am but a poor, unworthy, imperfect creature at the best. I often think of these words, He that will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. O what is this poor, fleeting, wicked world, compared with that bright, beautiful and eternal one which all the saints will soon inherit?
