# Counsel From David Rice on the Christian Life

“View things in the light of eternity, and make it your business to lay up treasure in heaven, and you never can be poor: seek that honour that cometh from God, and you never will be mean and disgraceful: be clothed in the garments of salvation, and you will not be meanly dressed: feed on the bread of life, and you will never starve: be and conduct like the children of God, and you may humbly rejoice in the most noble parentage.” - [David Rice](/authors/david-rice), *David Rice*'*s Last Advice to His Children, Whether By Affinity or Consanguinity* (1819)
