From Mrs. Eby ... i —Growing Old— I They say that I am growing old, I have heard them tell it times untold in language plain and bold, But I am not growing old. This frail old shell in which I dwell is growing old; I know full well, but I am not the shell; what if my hair has turned real gray? Gray hairs are hon orable, they say What if my eyesight is growing dim—I can still see to follow Him who sacrificed His life for me upon the cross of Calvary. Why should I care if time’s old plough has left its furrows on my brow? Another house not made with hands awaits me in the Glory Land. What though 1 falter in my walk What though my tongue refuse to talk, I still can tread the narrow way. I still can watch and Praise and Pray. My hearing may not be as keen as in the past, it may have been, still I can hear my Sav ior say, in whispers soft. “This is the way”. The outward man, do what I can to lengthen out my life’s short span, Shall perish and return to dust as everything in nature must, ±ue mwara man, the Scriptures say, is growing stronger every day, so how can I be growing old when safe within my Sav ior’s fold? Ere long my soul shall fly away and leave this tenement of clay —this robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise to seize the everlasting prize. I'll meet you on the streets of gold and prove that I’m not growing old.
