Living in God's Glory

if he will never leave, yet a departure from this world is inevitable and comes sooner than he plans! THE GREATEST NEWS The greatest issue facing man is the Day of Judgment. One cannot see it, but it is the matter most worth talking about, the most important news that anyone can hear. an old acquaintance with a master’s degree in science is now a civil servant in delhi. once, i was out for the whole day. on returning home, i was told that this gentleman had called to see me several times during the day. Just at that moment, the doorbell rang. i opened the door, and there he was again, smiling. “i have come to give you some good news,” he said: “i have been promoted, and my salary has been increased a thousand a month.” it struck me that if one has some important news to tell, then one cannot hide it. Tell it, one must, even if it involves searching for a listener. For example, if someone buys a new house or a car, he instinctively wants it to be the focus of attention. if it is not brought up in conversation, he will somehow bring the topic around to the cars or houses, just so that his new purchase may receive a mention. it is true of everyone, without exception. it is only human nature that he should seek to tell his important news to others.
