Are you obeying the great commission? afe ¿»e Matthew Henry used to be in his study at four, and remain there till eight; then, after breakfast and family prayer, he used to be there again till noon; after dinner, he resumed his book or pen till fo^r, and spent the rest of the day in visiting his friends. Doddridge’s “ Family Expositor,” he himself alludes to as an example of the difference of rising between five and seven, which, in forty years, is nearly equivalent to ten years more of life. Dr. Adam Clarke’s “Commen tary” was chiefly prepared very early in the morning. Barnes’ popular and useful ..“Commentary” has been also the fruit of “early morning hours.” Simeon’s “Sketches” were chiefly worked out between four and eight.
we are God’s children death is nothing to he afraid of. That is why we sing happy songs, and make our room bright with pretty flowers. It is the day when Jesus came back to tell His friends not to be sad because He had died. Because Jesus arose, all that be lieve in Jesus will rise again. Our bodies shall not always stay in the grave. When our friends die, the thought of the resurrection gives us comfort. That is why we have our churches and Sun day Schools, that people may come and learn of Jesus, and believe in Him, so that when they die they will rise again and live in heaven with Jesus forever. Again today our memory verse is the words of Jesus. “Because I live,' ye THE EARLY RISER John Milton writes of Ihimself, that he was at his studies, “in winter, often ere the sound of any bell awake men to labor or to devotion; in summer, as oft with the bird that first rouses, or, not much tardier, to read good au thors till attention be weary, or mem ory have its full fraught; then with useful and generous labors preserving the body’s health and hardiness.” Wes ley repeatedly ascribes his own health and prolonged life to the practice of rising at four. When Seventy-eight years old he writes, “By the blessing of God, I am just the same as when I ended my. twenty-eighth year. This hath God wrought, chiefly by my con stant exercise, rising early, and'preach ing morning and evening.”
