Words of Warning.

By Emma House

SINNER! many warnings God hath given thee, Telling of the danger, Bidding thee to flee; Yet ye stand unconscious 'Mid the gathering gloom, Heeding not the tokens Of earth's final doom.
How the gilded pleasures Of the world allure! Think ye these bright visions Ever will endure? What though honors crown thee, Look well to the cost; What is all this life worth, If thy soul be lost?
Time is hastening greatly— Passeth swift away. Each one now is moulding His own destiny; What shall be the issue? Time alone will tell Who hath chosen wisely, Who hath chosen well.
In the coming contest Each must have a part, Either with a joyous Or a fainting heart; Bright will be the dawning That awaiteth thee— Else with pain and sorrow Laden heavily.
Still doth mercy linger, Choose that ye may stand, When God's fiery judgments Overspread the land; Knowing that the Saviour, Who for sinners died, Will uphold his children, Walketh by their side.
EMMA HOUSE.
