"Yes,
there is indeed a happy age for the children of men, which is all that
your nurse and teacher say. It is a happy time and a time of wonders.
In that time wars cease and there is nothing to hurt or destroy.
Princes and princesses in poor clothing are met in the streets, because
in that Age the poorest child who is good is a child of the King of
Heaven. And heaven and good angels are near because Christ is near.
It is Christ's presence that works the wonders. When He is living on
the earth, and His life is in the lives of men, everything is changed
for the better. There is a new heaven and a new earth. And the Golden
Age has come."

DIFFERENT VIEWS.
It was a great loss to these children that this holy and beautiful
mother died when they were still very young. But her good teaching did
not die. Her words about the Golden Age never passed out of their
minds. Whatever else they thought concerning it in after years, they
always came back to this--in this they were all agreed--that it is the
presence of Christ that makes the Gold of the Golden Age.
