Careless and Godless.

HE had lived for himself! his whole life being spent in sin and folly. He had made money his god, and, like the rich fool in Luke 12, had no thought of eternity.
God had often spoken and as often had he turned a deaf ear to His loving voice, choosing rather the gold that perisheth than the true riches which endure for eternity. He was an old man of nearly eighty when the writer visited the village in which he lived, and still seemed to have no thought of eternity. Some gospel meetings having been announced, he was earnestly invited to attend on the following day, his reply being, “I will go and see what he talks about,” but ere morning dawned his soul had passed from time into eternity! Careless and godlest he lived!! Careless and godless he died!! Unconverted reader, God is not mocked. You have often listened to His gracious pleadings, and today still finds you in your sins. Remember that though God in grace has borne long with you, yet the day is not far distant when the door of mercy will close forever. Still God waits to bless you. His arms of love are wide open to receive the returning prodigal. Oh, then, why not come to Him now? “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isa. 1:1818Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18)).
“Canst thou reject Him, His love despise?
Pardon He offers to thee.
Canst thou reject such a glorious prize:
Wilt thou neglect it so free?”
