Not Yet

NOT YET.— “My son give me thine heart.”
“Not yet,” said the little boy as he was busy with his trap and ball; “when I grow older I will think about it.”
The little boy grew up to be a man.
“Not yet,” said the young man, “I am now about to enter into trade; when I see my business prosper, then I shall have more time than now.”
Business did prosper.
“Not yet,” said the young man of business; “my children must now have my care; when they are settled in life, I shall be better able to attend to religion.”
He lived to be a gray-haired old man.
“Not yet,” still he cried; “I shall soon retire from trade, and then I shall have nothing to do but to read and pray.”
And so he died. He put off to another time what should have been done when a child. He lived without God, and died without hope.
