A faithful pastor urged a young lady of his congregation and Sunday school to come to Jesus now. She impatiently answered,
“You are always urging me now, now I cannot see the need of such a hurry.”
“I have no authority to preach or to teach any other gospel.”
“O, well, I’ll risk it,” she jauntily replied, as she waved a good-bye and started on a summer excursion. A burning steamer on the Hudson river closed the short chapter of her life, with not another opportunity of accepting Christ.
O, teacher! teach a present salvation, a present peril to shun, a present heaven to win. And do it now, on this Sunday, and on every Sunday, you meet and greet your scholars, it will not do to wait!
