On the train a young girl was fairly boiling over with indignation. The reason? A preacher had been asking her some plain questions about her soul.
"Why, he even asked me if I were sure that I was really on the road to heaven," she said. "He had no right to talk like that to me. He made me feel perfectly dreadful.”
"What did the conductor say to you when you boarded the train?" her friend asked.
"Why, he only asked me where I was going.”
"And you didn't mind that at all, did you? You knew that he was asking you to save you from a possible mistake. The preacher had the same motive, only the case was a great deal more serious.”
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death." Prov. 14:1212There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12).
"Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth." John 12:3535Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. (John 12:35).
