A little boy held a ten-cent piece near his eye, and said, “O mother it is bigger than the room!” and when he drew it still nearer he exclaimed, “O mother, it is bigger than all outdoors!” And in just that way the worlding hides God and Christ and judgment and eternity from view, behind some paltry pleasure, some trifling joy. or some small possession, which shall perish with the using and pass away, with all earth’s lust and glory.
