SALMASIUS, one of the most perfect scholars of his time, saw cause to complain bitterly against himself. “Oh!” said he, “I have lost a world of time; time, the most precious thing in the world! Had I but one year more, it would be spent in perusing David’s Psalms and Paul’s Epistles. Oh! sirs,” continued he addressing those about him, “MIND THE WORLD LESS AND GOD MORE.”
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15.
