ching apparently vastly more importance to the few brief years spent
upon this earth, than to the countless cycles of eternity? Why not view
it normally, making our one business that of serving that blessed
Christ?

Surely the saddest word in a Christian's vocabulary is indifference.
By-and-by many a one would doubtless gladly forfeit ten thousand years
of heavenly bliss just to recall the wasted opportunities of this day.

It is an incomparable privilege to be a child of the King, and the only
way in which one may prove his appreciation and loyalty is by the degree
of consecration and quality of service rendered.

At the day of Christ's appearing there will be many an unrewarded
Christian, saved eternally by the precious blood of God's sacrificial
Lamb, but with no glittering starry crown to cast at those once-pierced
and bleeding feet!

If the reading of this little story draws any nearer to the Lord,
influencing them to become more diligent in their search for the lost,
it shall accomplish that whereunto it is prayerfully sent.
