I was taught that a greater
part of the human family will be destroyed, and will have no part in the
heavenly kingdom. But thanks be to God that he has now opened the eyes
of many to see him a Father to the fatherless, and a sure help in time
of need. When such thoughts take possession of the heart, we view him in
his true character.
In order to serve him as we ought, we should commence in youth. Christ
said, "they that seek me early shall find me." The whole life is short,
if happily spent in his service. We have every encouragement to trust
wholly in his kind care and keeping, for his watchful eye is ever over
us. If you seek Christ in youth, nothing will be lost, but much will be
gained. When I look back upon the early days of my life, I regard them
as lost to the true service of Christ. It was impressed upon my young
mind, that God was filled with anger and wrath; and still I was told
that I must love him with my whole heart. I am sorry to say it, but I
fear I had no true love for him at that time.
