Description

“For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life.”
Deuteronomy 32:47.
THESE are among the last words of Moses before his death. He addressed the people in a most tender and affectionate
manner before he went from them. “The old man eloquent” seemed as if he would never leave off—he kept on reminding
the children of Israel of the goodness of God to them and telling them what they might expect at His hands if
they would but serve Him. He pleaded with all earnestness again and again and, at last, used this master argument why
he would have them keep the ways of God, “For,” he said, “it is not a vain thing for you”—it is a most essential thing—
“because it is your life.”
