SOME time ago, when traveling in the train, a simple little incident occurred that suggested a few thoughts to one of the passengers.
As the train entered a long tunnel a little boy remarked: "Mother, we are all in the dark, won't it soon get light again?”
A childish remark, but surely it contains a germ of truth when applied to a larger outlook on life.
There are many people groping their way about this world in darkness, who are perfectly careless about their soul's salvation. God is not in their thoughts. They live only for this life.
Is it wise to keep on neglecting God's offer of mercy and forgiveness?
Death for the unbeliever is sure, no one can escape, whether rich or poor. Sometimes the call comes suddenly, when least expected.
Death to the Christian means to be with Christ forever. Would it mean that to you should you be called to meet God to-night? Meet Him you must—either as Judge or Savior.
It is God's will that every man should be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. God sent His Son to die for your sins. Have you accepted Him as your personal Savior?
In a world where there is so much sin and sorrow, we ought to point with unerring precision to the Right Guide, who is the "Way, the Truth, and the Life" for time and eternity.
Christ is the Guide of the narrow way. Do not choose the broad road. Many, alas! are on the latter; led on by fascinating voices and snares, they are marching to their doom.
If you are on that road, dear reader, "Right about face" is the only safe course.
If you have never trusted the Lord, do so before it is too late. Though you have spurned Him, He still loves you. Trust Him who wants to be your everlasting Friend, the One who died to save you. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
