The Hour Glass is an emblem of human life. Behold! how swiftly and rapidly our lives are drawing to a close. We cannot, without astonishment, behold the little particles, which are contained

within this machine, how they pass away almost imperceptibly, and yet to our surprise, in the short space of an hour, they are all exhausted. Thus wastes man! Today he puts forth the tender leaves of hope; tomorrow, blossoms and bears his blushing honors thick upon him; the next day comes a frost, which nips the shoot, and when he thinks his greatness is still aspiring, he falls, like autumn leaves, to enrich our mother earth.

The Scythe is an emblem of time, which cuts the brittle thread of life and launches us into eternity. Behold! what havoc the scythe of time makes among the human race; if, by chance, we should escape the numerous evils incident to childhood and youth, and with health and vigor arrive to the years of manhood; yet, withal, we must soon be cut down by the all-devouring scythe of time, and be gathered into the land where our fathers have gone before us.
The explanation of the hourglass indicates the brevity of life. Time is the only resource men have in equal abundance. Everyday is made up of 24 hours, and each week of seven days. We can use this time for fruitful and profitable purposes or we can squander our time in frivolity and waste. The sand grains slowly but steadily pass through the hourglass and before we know it, time is complete. We must utilize our time wisely, as time wasted is time lost. The scythe alludes to the end of our earthly time. It is an impressive symbol of the certainty of death, which no man will escape. We must diligently and profitably use the time Spirit provides each of us. The scythe is also is a symbol of immortality and as such reminds us of the temporal nature of our earthly bodies and the glorious nature of the soul.
While the explanations of the hourglass and the scythe refer to death in rather foreboding terms, they do provide us with hope. If we use our time wisely to acquire knowledge and understanding, and use that knowledge and understanding to serve Spirit and society, then our reward will be great. We will “be gathered into the land where our fathers have gone before us.”
