The Labour of Life
Homilist
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave…


I. LIFE IS FOR LABOUR. We are not here merely to theorize, sentimentalize, dream — but to work.

1. The training of Our own spirits for heaven.

2. The training of others for heaven.

II. LIFE IS FOR EARNEST LABOUR. "With all thy might."

1. This work of all works is the most momentous.

2. This work cannot be performed in eternity.

3. Man is on his journey to eternity.

(Homilist.)
