IN our picture this week we have a dear little girl asleep, and tier older sister has evidently been up and dressed for quite a while, and even Shep has come to her bedside to see why she is still asleep.
It is a sweet picture to see a little child fast asleep. But there is another kind of sleep that is not good, and one may feel sad as he thinks of it.
There are lots of people, old and young, who are asleep as to God's things, and as to where they are going to spend eternity.
Are you, dear reader, truly awake to the facts that you have to meet God, and that there is eternity ahead? Have you thought of where you will spend eternity? Many are going on asleep as to these great facts, and God would have such awake while there is still the offer of salvation through Christ Jesus.
That name is Jesus Christ. Have you taken Him as your Saviour? If you have, you will be able to say
"I shall spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ." But if you have not, you are still asleep.
O, may you awake now, for the time is near when the Lord Jesus will no longer offer to be your Saviour. He will soon take the place of Judge of all those who lave despised and rejected Him.
