The period around the first of NAV
has come to be recognized as genera
moving time, especially so in many OF
the larger cities of the country, anC
an event which so Immediately affect.
so many lives ought not to pass with
out its spiritual lessons being pointed
out. Scarcely does the man or woman
or child exist who has o at some pc.
riod in his or her life known what it
was to move from one home to anoth.
er, from one state to another, from one
country to another. The medium
through which we reach and under.
stand the unseen and spiritual is that
of the natural world and the everyday
life experiences. Drummond's "Natur.
al Law in the Spiritual World" opens
the mind to the thought of the way in
which Gods spiritual forces operate,
and human experiences have their re-
semblances in the spiritual realm, and
bring their message to the human
heart in endeavor to point to God.
Moving day has inseparably asso-
ciated with it certain relative facts
which are Immediately connected with
it in Il thoughts, such as leaving the
old home, the new home, the furnish
ing of the new home, new neigh
bors and friends, the new landlord. etc.
Reverently and prayerfully we APP
proach the suggested thought in our
text, and shall seek to point out to the
soul the wonderful truth of God as re-
vealed in His Word. We shall endeavor
to avoid uuwarranted speculation as
TO unseen things, and draw parallels
between the spiritual life and human
experiences only where Gods Word
gives us authority so to do.
The Souls Moving Day. Our text at
once introduces us to the certainty of
this experience in every human life.
No argument is needed to enforce
this point. Man knoweth that his life
endureth but for a season and like the
grass of the field he soon passeth
away, and yet oftentimes he puts off
the thought Of the souls moving day
for a mor convenient season (Which,
but for the patience and grace Of God,
would never come. if it ever does come.
