"I don't intend to live like this right along," said a worldly young woman to an earnest Christian friend. "I'll get religion when I grow old. I don't have time for it now."
"But when your good time is over, when death, judgment and eternity have to be faced, and when God has to be met, what then?"
"I'll think about those things when I'm old; I'm in for a good time now," she repeated.
"Yes, so the devil has deceived thousands, but you may never live to grow old. You may not have time to prepare for eternity, though you will have time to die."
She only laughed and went away to pursue her path of pleasure.
Several weeks later, she died suddenly and passed into eternity without Christ. Instead of even a death-bed repentance, or a cry to God for mercy and forgiveness of sins, there were but oaths and groans of anguish as her last utterances. Thus she passed into an eternity of everlasting punishment.
