From Here to Forever
marks the fixing of every man’s destiny. “Watch ye therefore: ...
lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.”
Matthew 24:39
;
Mark
13:35, 36
.
Perilous is the condition of those who, growing weary of their
watch, turn to the attractions of the world. While the man of busi-
ness is absorbed in the pursuit of gain, while the pleasure-lover is
seeking indulgence, while the daughter of fashion is arranging her
adornments—it may be in that hour the Judge of all the earth will
pronounce the sentence, “Thou art weighed in the balances, and art
found wanting.”
Daniel 5:27
