A VERY attractive and lovable young girl was asked to attend a prayer meeting during the closing hour of the old year. She did not care for the company of Christians, and thought it would be a very dull way to see the old year out and the new year in. She refused the invitation, saying, “No, I will dance it out.”
The end of the year came, and with it the much-anticipated dance. The young lady was full of animation and excitement in the midst of the gay throng with its glitter and music.
But as the hour of midnight approached she grew suddenly pale and was carried from the room very sick. All the efforts of the doctor to help her were in vain. As the clock struck twelve, she passed with the dying year into eternity.
She had rejected Christ. She had chosen the world—only to spend an eternity of misery in outer darkness.
Dear reader, which will you choose? It may be a difficult choice. It may be hard for you to give up the pleasures of this life. But they last only a few years at best. And if you do turn to Christ, you will find in Him far more than all this world can give you, and that for eternity.
Do not refuse that blessed One, in whom alone you can find true happiness, peace and satisfaction. Accept Him now. Tomorrow may be too late.
