riches were his God. ] rode ia company
with him considerable distance through his
possessions. sought means to turn the
conversation from his gfoves, and his Or
chards, his fields and his treasures, 10 somc-
thing more serious and profitable. But no.
his heart was on these things; they engros-
scd his thoughts and his affections. lie
was between eighty and ninety years of age,
and yet could not bring him for moment
to speak of leaving his earthly inheritance.
10 the Sabbath and the sanctuary, and all
the things of Grd, he was an utter stranger.
II was painful to see an old man, lust
ready to close his eyes on all that belongs
to earth, refusing 10 admit into his mind y
single thought Of death, and that eternity so
shortly to be his home. With kind Of
melancholy satisfaction, | saw him take n
different road from myself thus releasing me
from my fruitlcss efforts to direct his mind
towards that world where his real interests
lay.
