SOJOURNERS.
Life in a pilgrimage and all earth’s inhabitants are journeying to one destination or another, either to a heavenly borne or to endless woe, Many people would be willing to remain in this world, contented with its vanities and pleasures, and would readily leave the angels the joys of heaven. But they know that they cannot remain here for ever, and are not willing to look forward to enduring the pain of hell. “ Foe we are strangers and sojourners ... as were all our fathers ; our days on earth are as shadow, and there is none abiding.” No doubt, God’s children do not feel at home on earth. They know they are but sojourners, and feel as such. It is a terrible thing to be uncertain as to the future ! In the Christian’s path there may be many bitter trials, many crooked things which are painful to bear, not only from the world, but from professing Christians, which are perhaps the most grievous of all; but still the thought will occur that he is only a sojourner here, that he is travelling towards his home.—English Churchman.
