THE END OP TIME. 349 grief are for ever dried up, neither shall there be any more pain in the flesh or the spirit. God shall wipe away all tears from your eyes, and death shall be no more; Rev. xxi. 4. " It is finished," said our blessed Lord on the cross ; John xi x. 30. It is finished, may every oneof his followers say at the hour of death, and at the end of time: My sins and follies, my distresses andmy sufferings, are finished for ever, and the mighty angel swears to it, that the time of these evils is no longer: They are vanished and shall never return. O happy souls, who have been so wise to count the short and uncertain number ofyour days on earth, as to make an early provisión for a removal to heaven. Blessed are you above all the powers of present thought and language. Days, and months, and years, and all these short and painful periods of time, shall be swallowed up in a long and blissful eternity; the stream of time which has run between the banks of this mortal life, and bore you along amidst many dangerous rocks of temptation, fear, and sorrow, shall launch you out in- to the ocean of pleasures, which have no period Those felicities must be everlasting, for duration has no limit there, Time, with all its measures, shall be no more. Amen.
