The fixed stars are at immense distances from us. They are so distant that we cannot measure the number of miles. When fogs and vapors rise from the earth and ascend one or two miles high, they come to a cold part of the air. The cold there condenses these vapors into thick clouds, which fall in showers of rain. Noah and his family outlived all the people who lived before the flood. The brave sailors embark on board of ships, and sail over the great and deep seas. The time will soon come when we must bid a last farewell to this world. The bright stars without number adorn the skies. When our friends die, they will never return to us; but we must soon follow them. God will forgive those who repent of their sins, and live a holy life. Do not attempt to deceive God; nor to mock him with solemn words, whilst your heart is set to do evil. A holy life will disarm death of its sting. God will impart grace to the humble penitent.
