whether good or evil.
It is strange that the spirit Of heedlessness
so deadens our sensibilitles that we are not
conscious even OF the direction in which we
are travelling. The things Of time and sense
allure and absorb US that we fail to con-
slider whittier we are drifting.
We do not hear the distant thunder as 1t
warns us OF impending danger nor the light
ming as 1t plays upon the edge OF lifes hori-
ION, the emblem Of Gods wrath upon those
who regard not His laws nor reverence His
judgments.
God shakes the earth; its victims fall; the
cry Of misery and woe echo to earths re.
hottest bound.
We read with a measure of indifference of
the fate OF those who persisted and the woeful
state OF those who survived.
These are but warnings to us and a call to
repentance that we may be delivered from
the power and dominion of sin, and that we
may, in the day of Gods wrath. be able to
stand.
WHO knoweth the power Of thine anger
Even according to thy fear is thy wrath.
So teach us to number our days that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom."-Ps. xci :11-12
