A MINISTER was dying, and he called his son, who was a thoughtless lad, to his bedside. “Tom,” he said, “will you promise me one thing before I die? I only ask that, when I am gone, you will go every evening alone for fifteen minutes and say, ‘What is eternity? and where shall I spend it?’
The he promise was given, and faithfully kept. At first the lad thought little of the words; but he went on doing as he had promised his dying father, until, at last, he was not able to face the awful question any longer, and was led to give himself to Jesus.
Where will. you spend eternity my young reader? You do not wish to spend it in the lake of fire: but have you fled to the only place of refuge from that icar:u1 place of woe?
