The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop.
At late or early hour.
To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed.
To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
Thirty-nine people died while you read this

“There is nothing so hardening as delay. When God speaks to us, He asks for a tender heart, open to the whispers of His voice of love. The believer who answers the ‘today’ of the Holy Ghost with the ‘tomorrow’ of some more convenient season, knows not how he is hardening his heart; the delay,

A tree toad loved a she-toad
That lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad.

The he-toad tree toad tried in vain
