The Hour-Glass in the Hand
New Cyclopedia of Illustrations
Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more…


There was an ancient custom of putting an hour-glass into the coffin of the dead, to signify that their time had run out — a useless notification to them. Better put the hour-glass into the hand of every living man, and show them the grains gliding steadily out. Soon all will be gone.
