and the anguish Of our loss Is a
wound that never hCals--never! No
happiness is possible without hope
OF certainty. the thing we feel
we must have, oh. IL mocks us as
/ II flies away from us. Nothing un-
/ der the sun satisfies an immortal
soul That shows that We are spir-
/ itually Imprisoned while we live
down here All the gold and al the
mines Of tho world cannot give
| a greed for gold.
Tho man who has greed for
| honor, there Is nothing that the
world can give him that will satisfy
| H. The man that lives only for
| lust, the virtue of every woman on
earth won't satisfy his greed for
lust. You cannot be satisfied with
tho honor Of the world.
oh. you turn and 1t is true OF
everything for which men strive
Without God. nothing on earth will
satisfy and you can have the best.
You destroy the Bible, destroy faith
In God, you might as well eat. curse,
drink, damn and die. Nothing will
satisfy until 1t lifts you above the
sun.
What does man in a pit know
about the beautiful mountain COW
cred with snow2 Nothing. No heav-
| en- you can build out of money, out
Of wealth, out Of honor, out OF po-
sitiOr, out Of education without God
is anything moro than an empty
room In hell. without God. without
Christ, without hope, all lis vanity.
At last, good for Solomon, here's
the best part OF tat last he
q d ul Of fut 70
above this old world and above the
sun. lie looks above his $4,000, 900
palaces. above his 10000 horses and
10000 hurscmen, he looks above
his golden oxen and his 22,2i0 gal
Ions OF wine in his sea OF gold, he
looks above his $4,000, 00O, 0Q0 worth
OF beaten gold and silvep' on the
floor ana doors and he looks above
his flowers and gardens. He looks
above the singing men and women.
above his servants, he looks above
his 100 wives and his 800 concu-
hincs, and when his viewpoint
changes, then the meaning of--his
life changes. He sees all without
God Is vanity and he says, surely,
know that It shall be well with them
that fear God"
Well hadn't It been well with
Solomon lie never says another
he looked beyond the world and he
closes the book OF his life. Here's
what he says, let Us hear tho con-
clusion of the whole matter:
Fear God ard keep his COM
mandments for this Is the whole
duty OF man. For God shall bring
every secret thing. whether II be
good, or whether it be evil"
when solomon's viewpoin I
changed and he stopped looking at
everything from the standpoint Of
the world and began to realize that
he had a soul to save and he looked
at everything from Gods standpoint
then he saw what fool he'd been
to live in this old world and let
the world dazzle him.
Noah looked for n life higher than
the sun. n was that that kept him
building that ark l20 years with
out seeing a flash of lightning or
without hearing clap OF thunder
or seeing "A drop OF rain. IL he had
been living for what he could have
seen, It never would have been said
Of him that he was o just man
Moses Had Vision.
Abraham had vision that lifted
him above the sun. He was looking
for city whose builder and maker
was God and that grand sid man
never says anything about all being
vanity
Moses h8d vision tha, pierced
tho clouds above him Whnh he
saw ,he rcproach of Christ. II would
bring he refused to be called the son
Of pharHoh's daughter he chose
rather 10 suffer affliction with the
people of God II he'd hayo chosen
TO have been called pharaoh's
daughter he would never have been
Moses, he never would have led the
children OF Israel, he never would
have given Us the law. never would
have stood on the Mount OF Transfig-
urstion, He was looking beyond the
cloud when he bade farewell to
the people, and he said, underneath
are the everlasting arms: and ne
shall thrust out the enemy from bes
fore thee, and shall say, Destroy
them.'

witness. this day against you have
l set before you life and death,
blessing and cursins,-choose.
lie was looking at things higher
than the world. He wasn't dazzled
by the beauty of this world
Joshua, that grand, battle-scarred
old veteran OF God Almighty, tha.
man with iron courage, said.
Choose yo this day whom ye will
serve, but as for me and my house
we will serve the Lord"
He was looking at things from a
viewpoint higher than the world.
