The clock of time is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, a late or early hour. Now is the only time you own; live, love, work and with a will, place no faith in tomorrow for the clock may then be still. Many people look upon death as a sad occasion, but the death of a Christian is a glorious time for our Lord and Savior. For it is said in Psalms 116:15, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death is his Saints,"
