Early Religion Escapes the Sequel of a Lost Life
Psalm 90:14
O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.


There is a very interesting story told in a book of Dr. Barrett's of an aged peer, a benevolent and distinguished lawyer and judge in his day. In his old age he was converted to a saving knowledge of Christ. But the story is that in his old age it was almost pitiable to see him at times. When his friends spoke brightly and cheerfully to him, he would say, "I am saved, but my life is lost." He could not bring back the past, and that past stood out before him in such dark, ghastly vividness that he could not rise above the depression — he had lost his opportunity. Young men, young women, beware lest your lives are lost. True, you may come to Christ and be saved in after years; but the precious hours that are wasted now, without any serious purpose, are wasted for ever.
