Those Scales in vision

When I was a child, I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child, I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1 Corinthians 13:11

"...the thoughts and interests of the people of God, especially the young. In one scale were the thoughts and interests tending Heavenward; in the other were the thoughts and interests tending to earth.
And in this scale were thrown all the reading of storybooks, thoughts of dress, and ...vanity, pride, etc....the angels of God, standing with scales, weighing the thoughts of His professed children,...
The scale filled with thoughts of earth,....quickly went down....rolled from the scale.
The one with the thoughts and interests tending to Heaven went quickly up as the other went down. ....the angel with the scales weighing the thoughts and interests of the people of God, said the angel: Can such enter Heaven? NO,NO, NEVER."
