Getting Ready to Move T h e owner of the tenement which I have occupied for many years- has given notice that he will furnish but little or nothing more for repairs — I am advised I must be ready to- move. At first, this was not a very wel come notice, for the surroundings here are, in many respects, very pleas ant and were it not for the evidence of decay, I should consider the old house good enough; but even a light wind causes it to tremble and totter and all the braces are not sufficient to make it secure, so I am getting ready to move. It’s strange how one’s interest is transferred to the prospective home. I have been consulting reports of the new country and reading descriptions of its inhabitants. One who visited it has returned, and from him I learn that it is beautiful beyond description. Language breaks down in attempting to tell what he heard while there. He says, in order to make an investment there, he has suffered the loss of all things that he owned here, and even rejoices in what others would call making a sacrifice. Another whose love to me has been proved by the greatest possible test is now there. He has sent me several clusters of the most delicious fruits and after tasting them all, foods here seem insipid. Two or three times I have been down by the border of the river that forms the boundary and have wished myself among the com pany of those who were singing the praises to the King on the other side. Many of my friends have moved there and before leaving, they spoke of my coming later. I have seen the smile on their faces as they passed out of sight, and while I am often asked what I am doing here, my answer in every case . . . ‘I am getting ready to move!’ ” “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Lord, keep me sweet when I grow old, And things in life seem hard to bear; When / feel sad and all alone, And people do not seem to care. O keep me sweet, and let me look Beyond the frets that life must hold, To see the glad eternal joys; Yes, keep me sweet, in growing old .
