WE were traveling through the state of Wyoming and the train stopped at Cheyenne for about thirty minutes. We decided to get out and walk around for awhile..
When we went into the lobby of the station we noticed this old stage coach on display. Near the stage coach a sign stated that this was the last stage coach to enter the city of Cheyenne from Colorado, and made its last trip in December 1866. After that date, the new railroads served this same territory and the stage coach was no longer used.
Once this stage coach was shiny and new and no doubt the driver was proud to guide it over the rough trails with several passengers — but the day finally came when the last trip was made.
This is like our lives, dear boys and girls. We go on from day to day but the time comes when we must leave this world. We may never see the end of 1958, which we have just begun. This may be your last day and you may be reading your last Sunday school paper. This may be your last offer of pardon.
If you know the blessed Lord Jesus as your Saviour and Lord, you need not fear if this is your last day for you will go to be with Him, if He should call you away in death.
What a terrible thing to die without Christ! Your precious soul would be lost for all eternity in hell! If you do not know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, won't you trust Him NOW? Tomorrow may be too late.
