A STARTLING FACT.

F. A. Crafts, in the American Wesleyan, says that eighty-eight per cent. of those converted now, in communities where Christian privileges are fully enjoyed, are saved at 20 years of age and under, according to observations made by the writer in 149 cases of conversion. Of this whole number, but four were more than 25 years of age, at the time of their great change, two were over 25 years and under 40; one was above 40, and under 50; and one was 81 years old. Many aged sinners seek God now assured that they will not be cast out, if they do so with the whole heart. But let the young take warning from evidence found in every community, that but few, comparatively, ever seek God, who harden their hearts and strengthen the habit of procrastination, by resisting the calls of the Holy Spirit through more than a score of years.
