What Will You Say?

International Tract and Missionary Society · Oakland, California · Jan 1, 1885

What Will You Say?

What will you say when you are called to account for all the opportunities of usefulness which you have wasted in utter disregard of all warning and admonition?

What will you say when you are called to account for all the harm that you have done in selfishly seeking your own pleasure without regard to the welfare of others?

What will you say when you are called to account for the perversion and abuse of the influence and talents committed to you?

What will you say when you are called to account for a wasted life, no fragment of which can ever be recalled?

What will you say when time is gone and eternity is at hand, and you have to look upon what you might have been, but now can never be; only because you would not.

What will you say when you come to realize that all your hopes are wrecked in chasing troubles on the waves, and to be sensible that you have no one to blame but yourself?

What will you say when you wake up to the fact that the world you now love too well is gone, and that God, whom you have forsaken, has at last forsaken you?

Reader, think of these things.—Sel.
