The Right Life
Homilist
Isaiah 38:19
The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known your truth.


The right life is a praise-giving life. Such a life is —

I. THE MOST HONOURABLE.

II. THE MOST BENEFICIAL TO THE MAN HIMSELF.

III. THE MOST BENEFICIAL TO OTHERS. "The father to the children shall make known Thy truth."

IV. THE CONSIDERATION OF THE SHORTNESS OF LIFE OUGHT TO INDUCE US TO SPEND OUR TIME IS PRAISING GOD. Hezekiah felt that the years given him to live on the earth would soon come to an end, hence the emphasis placed on "the living, the living."

(Homilist.)
