"
For He who was once born a little child in this world and laid in the
manger at Bethlehem, and who grew up in the home of Joseph and Mary at
Nazareth, is the Same who was "in the beginning with God," for He "was
God."
This is what God has told us about His great Eternity, when Time, with its
days and weeks and months and years, had not begun.
"TIME AND ETERNITY.
"How long sometimes a day appears!
And weeks, how long are they!
Months move as slow as if the years
Would never pass away.
"It seems a long, long time ago
That I was taught to read;
And since I was a babe, I know
'Tis very long indeed.
"Days, months, and years are passing by,
And soon will all be gone;
And day by day, as minutes fly,
Eternity comes on.
"Days, months and years must have an end;
Eternity has none.
'Twill always have as long to spend
As when it first begun.
"Great God! no finite mind can tell
How much a thing can be:
I only pray that I may dwell
That long, long time _with Thee_."
JANE TAYLOR.
RUIN AND DARKNESS.
"_Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word
of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do
appear._"--HEBREWS xi. 3.
"_Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the
seas, and all deep places._"--PSALM cxxxv. 6.
There are three words which God has used to tell us about His work which we
call "The Creation.
