"My dear friend, can you tell me what is the best thing in this world?" said a servant of Christ, as he placed his hand lovingly on the shoulder of another man standing beside him.
"Yes, sir, I can"; was the ready reply, "for though I've never learned to read, yet God has taught me by His Spirit, and I know what is the best thing in this world." Then slowly, and with great feeling he said: "The best thing in this world, sir, is to be ready for the next."
Reader, is there anything better than that? Are you ready—ready for glory and eternal bliss with Christ in heaven? Thank God, there is such a thing as being ready, and knowing it too.
But are you ready? If not, do you wish to be ready? Then turn to God now. Repent now. Trust Jesus now. Have faith in His precious shed blood now. Now confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and say, "0 Savior of the guilty, I do believe Thou didst die for me, even for me," and thou shalt be saved—now.
