PROCRASTINATION
Unto a youth the gospel came,
Exhorting him in Jesus' name
To turn from sin, embrace the truth,
And serve the Lord in days of youth.
The youth replied, "I know that's right,
But I won't turn from sin tonight;
A few more pleasures I will seek,
And then I'll turn, perhaps next week."
But next week came, and still his heart
Was not inclined from sin to part.
"A few more days in sin I'll live,
And then my heart to God I'll give."
Days passed by, and months rolled on,
And still he sang the same old song,
"Not now, but later on I'll pray
For God to wash my sins away."
The months and years went by so fast;
From youth to middle age he passed.
And yet his sins were not forgiven,
Nor was his name enrolled in heaven.
From middle age to old he went;
His body 'neath the years was bent.
"His conscience once so keen to feel,
No more was stirred at God's appeal."
Procrastination, in its awful stealth,
Had robbed his soul of heaven's wealth,
And so at last to sin a slave,
He died to fill a Christless grave.
Oh souls, behold, God says, TODAY!
Turn now from all your sins away,
Lest you should reach your doleful fate,
And cry at last, "Too late! Too late!"

WARNING
Attention, please, Dear Young People:
Do you know that you are passing from time to eternity? "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." (Heb. 9:27). In this life is the time to seek the Lord. We are warned to remember our Creator in the days of our youth while the evil days come not, and the years draw nigh when "thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." The Lord has given every one a time to get saved. Ecclesiastes says, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up, A time to weep, and a time to laugh . . . A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. "What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men, to be exercised in it. He hath made everything beautiful in his time. . . ." Eccles. 3:1-11.
Jesus Christ came into this world for the specific purpose to die on the cross that we through His shed blood could be saved from our sins. "But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine." Isa. 43:1. Proverbs 1:24-28, gives this solemn warning: "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me." Now is the time to seek the Lord, while He may be found. Don't let it be said, "Too late, too late to enter the golden gate." Heed the call! Get right with God! ‹Ulysses Phillips
