Everything dies; the angels die, men die, animals die,
earths die, sun, moon, and stars, all die; everything undergoes constant
change. The mountains of today were the oceans of yesterday and will be oceans
tomorrow.
Everything is in a state of flux. The whole universe is a mass of
change.
But there is One who never changes, and that is God; and the nearer we
get to Him, the less will be the change for us, the less will nature be able to
work on us; and when we reach Him, and stand with Him, we shall conquer nature,
we shall be masters of these phenomena of nature, and they will have no effect
on us.
