The Danger of Delay

Listen from:
Three young women who had been to a gospel preaching were telling one another what they thought of it.
Said one, "I never heard anything like it before; if what they say is true, it's a sure thing that we are not saved."
"No," responded the second, "indeed we are not; what shall we do?"
"Let's go back again," said the first speaker, "there is an inquiry-meeting; perhaps we could be saved tonight."
Here the third one remarked, "I say let's go for a walk and forget it." After a little more consultation her voice prevailed. They had not gone far, however, before the first one stopped, saying, "I'll go back; I know they are there praying for us. If the blessing they tell of is for real, I would like it; will you come with me?"
The girl who had suggested the walk refused, but the other two went back to the meeting, and through the mercy of God believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, and were saved that night.
Let me warn you not to neglect this important matter. "To-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts." Heb. 4:7,
