If nearness to home is calculated to cheer the heart and revive the soul, the aged believer ought to be a very happy man; for he has, through the merits of his Redeemer, a very happy home before him, the transcendent delights of which no mortal tongue can describe-a home where sin and sorrow shall never enter, and where joy and happiness shall be unsullied forevermore.

To such a home the child of God is journeying. What a comforting thought this for the evening of life-going home-going to brighter scenes, and purer enjoyments, and holier companions-going to be with the Lord! Such a prospect as this lightens the burden of years, and makes old age a happy period in the Christian's life.
