The lesson of day and night is one which it would be well for everyone
to learn. It should be among our day-thoughts and night-thoughts to remember
the flight of time, the changeful character of earthly things, the brevity both
of joy and sorrow, the preciousness of life, our utter powerlessness to recall
the hours once flown, and the irresistible approach of eternity. Day bids us
labor, night reminds us to prepare for our last home; day bids us work for God,
and night invites us to rest in him; day bids us look for endless day, and
night warns us to escape from everlasting night.
