Danger of Procrastination

A YOUNG man in Pennsylvania, who had been deeply convicted during the progress of a revival, was asked by his pastor to come to Christ. He answered, “Not to-night; perhaps I will to-morrow night.” The next day the pastor went out into the country, and while on his way perceived at a distance persons gathering in the street; and when he reached the place, he at once saw that this young man to whom he had spoken the previous evening was nearly killed by being thrown from a horse. They carried him into a neighbor’s house, where he lived but a few minutes. His last words were, “Lost! lost! and forever lost!” The call of mercy is often followed closely by the summons to judgment.—Anon.
