The Residue of Years
Isaiah 38:10
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.


Life has crises. Men often feel as if life were re-given. Wisdom is born in such hours. The residue of life is regarded with reverence. The residue of year. —

I. ARE, WITH US, UNCERTAIN.

II. SHOULD BE GUIDED BY THE EXPERIENCES OF PAST YEARS.

III. SHOULD BE MOST SERENE AND HAPPY.

IV. SHOULD BE MOST PIOUS AND FRUITFUL IN GOOD TO OTHERS.

(W. O. Lilley.)
