A bright boy heard and was deeply impressed by the text:
"My son, give me thy heart;"
But Satan whispered:
"Time enough yet," and the boy put it off.
Years later, a brilliant collegian heard the same text under circumstances which seemed to urge upon him to make that the time of salvation. Again the tempter whispered:
"Time enough yet."
Twenty years later a statesman listened to the same text from the lips of an aged Christian, and felt it was a message to him. This time the tempter said:
"Visit foreign countries before you decide."
Then a traveler was stricken with cholera in Paris. He was in agony of soul because he was not prepared to die. His last words were:
"Too late, too late!"
The boy, the collegian, the statesman, and the traveler were one.
Reader, do not lose your soul for earth's vanities.
