At an Inn in Savoy a traveler saw an unusual inscription printed upon a folio sheet and hung upon the wall. A similar copy had been placed, he was told, in every house in the parish.
"Understand well the force of these words:—
"A God, a moment, an eternity.
"A God who' sees thee, a moment which flees from thee, an eternity which awaits thee.
"A God whom you serve so ill; a moment, of which you so little profit; an eternity, which you hazard so rashly.”
Think what eternity means. Suppose, after one of our most violent snow-storms which covers the earth for thousands of miles, only one single flake were melted each thousand years. Eternity would stretch as far beyond that almost interminable period as if it had not yet begun.
Where will you spend eternity?
