Looking Toward Sunrise

Excerpt from Looking Toward Sunrise

For the Cross bids you look away from self and sin - giving yourself, sin and all, to Him that justifieth. If you do this, you will be at peace, though you may never be numbered among those rare souls to whom the hope of eternal life is so strong, the vis ion oi Heaven so near and real, that they look forward to going There with some thing of exultant joy. That you cannot enter into this feeling is no cause for dis couragement, for the desire either for life or death is no measure Of the spiritual con dition. Temperaments vary, and while there are some who never know the dread of death, there are others who shrink from it like a child frightened by the dark. Circumstances also make a great difference in the feeling with which men and women look toward it, and it would be as unreasonable to expect those whose earthly days are full of sweet content, who have close and near ties, and the prospect of a bright future, to long to depart, as it would be to expect birds to cease to sing in the glad sunshine of spring.
