•‘WHERE.”
A hundred yuars hence where
shall I lu? IVul, cermlnly—dead
long ago. This body that is now so
much to jw, will then be nothing to
me. U will have perished, even my
grave stone will begin to show signs
of age und neglect. I shall bo dead,
out of iniud, passed away, forgotten.
No one will want me, miss me, think
ot me. The world will go ou with*
out me. llow little, after all is the
world to mol How little am I to the
world!
lint wh**u and whut shall I he? I
shall ho saved or a lost soul. Saved
without tear 01 danger of perdition;
or loKt, vviti-.oni hope of salvation.
The thought is awful, but it ought
to be dwelt upon some times A gay
French Nobleman, after a short ab
sence, flew to see the lady he loved,
lie bounds up the stairs and burst
joyously into her room. There was
nothing there hut an open oofllu, and
in it a lifeless corpse. The lady had
died of smallpox and every ono had
fled and left the nwlul ruins of a
lovely and sinful woman. The great
thought cn ored that man’s soul as
he stood a few moments on that
dreadful threshold uud it did its
work. He turned and went Blowly
down stairs, and the gay world kuow
him no more. It is difficult to con
centrate the powers of one’s soul on
the tremendous thought. A few
years hence I shall be be a saved or
a lost soul, but when once we have it
fast, it is almost omnipotent. The
is no middle alternative. Not this
man, or that man but 1. Nakod and
alone the soul stands before God;
friends are gone, work, plans, plea
sures, troubles, all fall off and vanish
into nothing, aud God and the soul
staud face to face. The soul scung
the face of God, to see whether there
is welcome or repulsion.butGod bids
the soul look at itself, it is already
saved or not. There is no arbitrary
sentence of God. The soul sees the
work of life written upon itself, aud
it passes sentence upon itself.
To anticipate this final judgment
is true wisdom. It will have to bo
enacted a few years hence, and it
may be to-morrow. The awakened
soul cau tolorate no uncertainty. It
suyB to itself, not “Shall I be saved
some day?” but “Am I saved now,”
for now is the ouly moment wo know
anything about, and the only time
that is our owu. “How shall I be
saved?” Go down on your knees
ulone before God, confess your sins
one by one, forsake them, make res
titution, amend jour life and that
moment will be your day of salva
tion. Yet some souls will uot do it.
They are too idle or too busy,
they postpone it—-they have never
really faced the awful responsibility
of their personal relation to God.
They hide iu a crowd, they have
never caught God’s eye. They look
here and there, anywhere but into the
face of God. There is not a lost soul,
but God bus put Ilia arms around it,
and looked in its face os a father, and
it has turned awuy and rejected his
love. Yet even now for all who
have life uud reason comes the glo
rious word, “Now is the day of sal
vation.” Will you too, reject the
message?—Eng.
