The Best is Yet to Be by Henry Durbanville and published by Classics.
Right down the long years I have held old people in profound and ever-growing reverence; and, now that I myself am stepping westward, reverence has deepened into love. They have crossed the storm-swept sea of life, and, in doing so, have encountered rough winds and swelling tides; they have endured heavy trials and borne many sorrows; but when, in spite of these things, they retain childlike trust in God, and continue wholeheartedly to believe that “all things work together for good to them that love Him”, they become outstanding witnesses of the grace of their Lord.
Life is being taught in the two great universities in which most of us have learned life’s greatest lessons; the hard school of experience, and the harder school of failure: and I desire to speak to you, my beloved sisters and brothers, of some of the things which I, personally, have learned in them. I do this, however, with one aim in view – and that is to brighten that part of the journey which lies immediately ahead of us, and to tell you of One Who, if we but trust Him, will presently conduct us to scenes brighter far... for “The Best is Yet to Be..”
