consent thou not.” Keep the way of the Lord, for you will have no
peace in transgression. By an evil course you bring discredit upon
your parents and dishonor upon the religion of Christ. Remember
that your life is recorded in the books of Heaven, to be opened before
the assembled universe. Think what shame, what remorse, would be
yours, should it be your unhappy lot to lose eternal life! “Turn you at

known my words unto you.... Then shall they call upon Me.... Whoso
hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of
evil.” Heed the instruction of Christ, “Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you.”—
