In a recent address at Princeton University Gen. Horace Porter,
ex-Ambassador to France, told of a chaplain at West Point who,
on one occasion, facing his audience and about to begin his
sermon, took out his watch and laying it down deliberately
before him as a monitor, said: “In contemplating the things of
eternity, we must ever be mindful of time”; then proceeded with
his discourse.
There is a worldliness that tones and balances an other-worldliness.
