<br>
<strong>What does it really matter</strong> where we spend<br>
the few years of our pilgrimage here below?<br>
<br>
Life is short, vain, and transitory; and if I live <br>
in comfort and wealth, or in comparative poverty, <br>
<strong>it will matter little when I lie in my coffin! </strong><br>
<br>
This life is soon passing away, and an eternal state<br>
fast coming on! <strong>It will greatly matter whether . . .</strong><br>
 our <strong>religion </strong>was natural or spiritual,<br>
 our <strong>faith </strong>human or divine,<br>
 our <strong>hope </strong>a heavenly gift or a spider's web! <br>
<br>
But our blind, foolish hearts are so concerned about <br>
things which are but the dust of the balance, and so <br>
little anxious about our all in all.<br>
<br>
There is <strong>no greater inheritance</strong> than to be a son or <br>
daughter of the Lord Almighty. To have a saving <br>
interest in . . . <br>
 the <strong>electing love</strong> of the Father,<br>
 the <strong>redeeming blood</strong> of the Son,<br>
 and the <strong>sanctifying operations</strong> of the Holy Spirit, <br>
is <strong>worth a million of worlds!</strong> Without such, we must <br>
be eternally miserable; and with it eternally happy.<br>
<br>
"For God has reserved <strong>a priceless inheritance</strong> for His<br>
 children. It is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, <br>
 beyond the reach of change and decay!" 1 Peter 1:4
