Take your hand, doesn’t matter left or right, hold it up and spread your fingers. Now compare the size of your hand to everything around you. Your hand is very small in comparison, is it not? Well the spread of your hand is a handbreadth; and compared to eternity, our life on this earth is small indeed.
In Kensington Gardens, one of London’s pleasant open spaces, there stands elevated a clock which has four dials, each showing respectively north, south, east and west, and underneath each dial is carved in large letters: TIME FLIES.
A very plain and truthful message this is and no one living will deny this plain fact. Many thousands have passed this clock and have no doubt been glad to avail themselves of the knowledge of the hour; but are not the timely words as to the fleeting of time a plain and solemn warning to all?
Each day brings us most certainly nearer to the close of our career here; and the well-known words are very fitting “brief life is here our portion.”
