ONE morning at a railroad station, two young women entered the waiting room. They stopped to take a drink of water and as they passed out one said, “Oh, wait a minute.” On a small paper pasted to the wall close by, were these words, “Where will you spend eternity?” The girl read aloud, “Where will you spend—oh! eternity—I thought it was something about vacation.” They hastened out to the train laughing.
Oh! what heedlessness, I thought. To them their vacation trip was a much more important question than eternity. How is it with you, reader? God is long-suffering and in love and mercy stays His hand of judgment. But we know not the day nor the hour when the door of mercy will close. He still holds out to all a free and full salvation. Take this gift of salvation.
“Take it now and happy be.”
