« All 1s not Gold that Glitters.” 67

Though I have spoken so much of wealth,
there is more than the love of earthly
wealth included in what I wish my young
friends to guard against. What I am
specially anxious to call your attention to
is embraced in the Saviour’s declaration,
“What shall it profit a man if he gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?” We
understand that the world, to each individ-
ual, means that which engrosses his heart to
the exclusion of Christ; that which is
opposed to God and over which judgment
hangs.
