OUTLOOK AND EFFORT.
Notes of a sermon by the Rev. J. Kirk Maconachie, at Union Church on Sunday evening:-
"Stretching forward to the things which are before."--Phil. 3 13.
These might be supposed the words of a young man, but in point of fact they are from "such aa one as Paul the aged." Our conventianul notion of the elderly person is that of the inveterate praiser of past times, who grum- bles and despairs, and does little but wonder what things are coming to.
The type, no doubt, is to be met, but the picture as a whole is something of a caricature. People of that back-looking disposition are apt not to be long lived. They do not belong to the future, so Nature in arranging for the future arranges to do without them. The fittest to survive are not always those who have the toughest physical constitution. If that is all they have, the saying holds good of them that if by reason of strength they reach fourscore years their strength is but labour and sorrow. If however one days are prolonged, as they may be. by reason of hope, faith and love. we can drop the dirge of the Hebrew psalmist for the song of the Christian Apostle, and say right on to the end of the longest life, Stretching forward to the things which are before."
