But there were not only very little children in that wrecked train. We are told of a boy who was terribly hurt, but lived an hour after the crash came. As he lay by the wayside, a young girl with a pitiful heart came and knelt beside him. "I will pray you up to heaven," she whispered. "I am going there!" said the dying boy; "Lord Jesus take me, I am ready." Of another his poor mother said-- "I asked him before he started--'Well, dear, have you committed yourself to your heavenly Father?' 'Yes, mother, I have,' he said. So I gave him my blessing and sent him off, and that was the last time I ever saw him alive." These boys did not think as they left their homes that morning that they would never return, but they had learned to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their own Saviour, and so when danger and death came, they were ready to leave this world and go to Him: their boats were not wrecked; they sailed right into port. And now that we are coming to the end of our lesson for to-day, let us "think back," and see if we can remember what it is all about, and then we will mark the subjects (_a_), (_b_), (_c_), (_d_), to help us to keep them in mind. The subjects were-- (_a_) That very far away time which God speaks of as "the beginning." (_b_) It is God alone who can tell us about this time. (_c_) God, who made all that has a beginning, Himself had no beginning. This means that there never was a time, no matter how long ago, when God was not. If you think back, back, even to the time when there was no sky, no earth, no great ocean, you can never come to a time when there was no God. (_d_) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." The "Word" is one of the names of the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to this world that He might show us how very much God His Father loves us, and who could say, "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." For He who was once born a little child in this world and laid in the manger at Bethlehem, and who grew up in the home of Joseph and Mary at Nazareth, is the Same who was "in the beginning with God," for He "was God." This is what God has told us about His great Eternity, when Time, with its days and weeks and months and years, had not begun. "TIME AND ETERNITY. "How long sometimes a day appears! And weeks, how long are they! Months move as slow as if the years Would never pass away. "It seems a long, long time ago That I was taught to read; And since I was a babe, I know 'Tis very long indeed. "Days, months, and years are passing by, And soon will all be gone; And day by day, as minutes fly, Eternity comes on. "Days, months and years must have an end; Eternity has none. 'Twill always have as long to spend As when it first begun. "Great God! no finite mind can tell How much a thing can be: I only pray that I may dwell That long, long time _with Thee_." JANE TAYLOR.
