Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Sermons, Vol. 2 of 2 "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." There is a truth which we all know equally well, - whether we are learned or ignorant, old or young; we are all equally well assured of the truth, - that the things which we see are temporal, - only for a time, and fast passing away. And yet, though we know it so well, our heavenly Father seems, if I may so speak, to take great pains to remind us of it constantly; as if it were of very great consequence that we should be continually thinking of it, and as if we were very likely, practically, to forget it. For in every thing about us, and in ourselves, and in Scripture, the Almighty seems to be continually forcing this truth upon our minds. In every thing about us, - for what are day and night so quickly following each other, but little images of life and of death, and of resurrection after death? "There is neither speech nor language, but their voices are heard among them; one day telleth another, and one night certifieth another." And what are Spring and Autumn, Summer and Winter so quietly indeed and steadily, but so rapidly, succeeding each other?
