THE ETERNAL ROCK.
‘ ‘ The world passes away, and the lusts thereof;; On the rushing stream
r of time everything that we love and trust seems to be borne away, but here is one rock on which we can plant our foot: ‘He that doetli the will of God abicleth for ever.’ We may conceive of worlds very different!}' constituted from the world which we know. Me can conceive of worlds where covetous-, ness and ambition may cease to be ('cicrnuning factors in conduct, and where many of our worldly standards may be subverted. But we cannot toneiove of any place throughout tli boundless immensity of God's universe where truth and goodness and uiise! fishness shall cease to exist or shall ccr.se to bring blessedness and happiness. Tlie sou) which bath loved Christ and lived lor Him and trie to he uke Him is free of God’s world there can be no place in which ho is not at home ; for we cannot go where God is not and what are the essentia 1 qualities of God’s nature we can know, for Jesus Christ lias taught us.”— he an Inge. ,
