When This Earth Has Passed Away

A soul will never die.  When this earth of ours has crumbled to dust and has passed away into the forgotten past, a soul will still be in the freshness of youth.

When the fathomless future eternity has become hoary with age, the soul will still be young.

When a million, million eternities have each lived out their endless ages and have rolled by into the unthinkable past, and time is no more, the soul will be living, a conscious, personal reality, endowed with perpetual life.

God has said, “He that winneth souls is wise.”  If Christians would only realize the value and the immortality of a soul and the shortness of this earthly life, they would work feverishly, unceasingly, with all their  greatest energy, day after day, year after year, that they might save one soul….

Are there souls passing your way?  Are you bestirring yourself in their behalf that they may have eternal life and joy?  Ore are you allowing them to cross your path and pass on unwarned to an eternal death?

–W. K. Norton
