Are you killing time? What
can be more precious than time,
for my part 1 am convinced that
it is very preoious if not the most
precious of all things with which
jwe have to do here below, yet it
j is the one thing we are all guilty
of, wasting or killing by the
whole sale, with so many things
to be done, so many souls to save.
; requiring all the time of all who
are able to work at soul saving
It is astonishing that so many
Christians or members of the
church at least are constantly
trying to invent some new way
or ways of killing time. We
should remember that time wast
ed bv Christians means souls lost
for all eternity. Thus we have
lost time, lost souls, therefore
who can measure the nature oi
aime. He who knovveth the value
of the s.ul said, what doth it
profit if a man gain the whole
world and lose his own soul, Let
this spirit be in you. I must
do the works of him that sent
me while it is day, the night
cometh when no man can work.
