IL verse, suggesting The subject:
"The value of our days" Discuss
Ing the tex ,ths Minister SAID Our
DAYS are gems which we should
guard with all possible care Yet
how many are careless as to the
passing days in repeated instances
rul lhlo>slv throwing The days away.
If God permits a person to live to
be 10 years of aye he has lived
25, 500 days and for each one OF
hose days he shall have to
give account to Col. Out of 25,550
days we have only 1000 to devote
to he life calling of our choice, and
besides during those 1000 days
many must make their preparation
fer eternity. For serious consider
atiOns Moses besought God for in
struciion in The numbering OF his
days. !. Because, his davs we're
so few life hurries past. It's days
rush as a flood: they are as The
grass, fousishing in he morning,
withered In The evening; they are
spent as a stale that is told"
2. There is so much to be done
in these days,-lhere is livell-
hood to be obtained and Eternity
10 be prepared tor.
In view of these things, Divine
direction in Numbering our days
will be- as valuable to us rs NOSES
conceived it would be to him. $50
teach us to number our days. j e
TO give them the closest care, and
duration. One day is joyous, The
next sorrowIul; one day prosperity
and the next dav adversitv. But
notice 10 what cOmmendable end
Moses would direct his days under
Gods instruction--''rhat we may
apply our hearts unto WISDOM
The original language is better
rendered-"That we may bring to
thee wise heart''-A heart wise
unto God, righteous and pure, and
devoted to God, is a heart that
gets most of the days as they hur-
liedly pass.
We should be impressed with the
most of our DAYS as the time in
which TO prepare wise hearts for
God, and TO this end we do we'll 10
add another petition ofthe Psalm
$50 satisfy US early with thy
mercy; that we may rejoice and be
clad all our days. In youth is
the best time te begin TO prepare
a wise heart unto God. Seven
thousand days from birth until onr
nationaIl,y-all of these gone be-
fore we enter upon the serious
days of life when the severe battle
is on, That period can be best
signalized by such numbering OF
the days that in youth we may be
Wise unto God.
