There's a sad coming by and by;
When the sinner shall hear his doom:
'Depart, I know you not.'
Are you ready for that day to come?"
CHORUS:
"Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready for the judgment day?"
The words had not yet died on the air when a young man ran hastily
from the company toward the Way of Life. His companions then gave vent
to their ridicule, some even going after him and endeavoring to pull
him back, but without avail.
Some sang an idle song to drown the hymn of warning that still rang
in their ears. Others engaged in boisterous conversation, and still
others mocked with foul profanity. They passed on, and as far as I
could see them they were pushing on to the Valley of Death.
I saw another man who was heavily burdened with pieces of timber on
which was written: "Faults of Church-Members." He also came to the
Place of Warning.
"Throw off the cumbersome weight you are carrying on your back, and
travel on the way where your burden ill be light," came a friendly
voice from the Rescue Station.
"I am not so foolish as to throw away my only hope," he answered with
unthankfulness in his tone.
