A Christian old age is the best thing in the world.
More Quotes from Reverend Sidney Strong:
But a good old age one like a 'slow drooping, mellow autumn after a rich and glorious summer' an old age as beautiful as some of the glorious days, when the sun rises in the early morn, sheds its light in brightness and warmth throughout the day and at night drops out of sight, looking even larger before it disappears.Reverend Sidney Strong
But all old people are not good. Some are reaping the harvest of iniquity. The passions have never been chained. Jealousy and hatred have grown stronger with the declining years, when old age is a season of lamentations. Past memories rise up to shake their bony fingers and mock. Life goes out in the midst of clouds and lightnings.
Reverend Sidney Strong
A good old age has learned to emphasize important things. It is sad to see one grown old only in years, or tall only in inches. Too many old men take delight in parade and show and externals, 'childish things,' not yet put away. A good old age emphasizes the abiding things.
Reverend Sidney Strong
There is another kind of a good old age, still more beautiful, when the life has been hard and rough and thorny it is the life of the great and good ones of the earth, the life of the true follower of our Lord and Master.
Reverend Sidney Strong
A good old age becomes mellow and ripe. There is less of irritability, more of contentment. Children are a joy to a good old age. God is nearer.
Reverend Sidney Strong
