Whistle and snort and puff and shout—you know all the sounds of a railway station. There were two trains steaming up for a run, and it would be hard to say which one made more noise. Both were crowded with all kinds of people—early corners leisurely arranging their bags, and last-minute runners gasping in to the cry of "All aboard—Board!"
Just a few feet apart, and just a few minutes apart, the trains started up from a stand-still and puffed away in the distance, just like two young boys setting out on life's run. You and your friend may be almost the same age, and almost always together, but where will you end up?
Those two trains puffed across the countryside not far apart at first, but wider and wider the tracks separated. One turned away up north, and the other away down south. How different the ending!
Dear little friends, you are starting your young lives together. Where are you going to end? Don't let Satan tell you that it doesn't matter! You may end your earthly life in glory with Jesus, or you may end it in "everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." Matt 25:41.
Where will you spend eternity? The choice is yours. The track you started on leads downward to an eternal hell. The Lord Jesus through His finished work on Calvary has prepared the shining track to Heaven. Little ones and older ones, too, will you not take the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, and know that your life on earth will end in glory will' Christ?
Memory Verse: "CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE." Josh. 24:15.
