   all uncertainty��your death and judgment are perfectly sure。 You too
   must hear the Archangel's trumpet�察�and go forth to stand before the
   great white throne�察�you too must obey that summons�察�which Jerome says
   was always fining in his ears�此 �Arise�察�ye dead�察�and e to judgment。;
   ;Surely I e quickly�察─�is the language of the Judge Himself。 I
   cannot�察�dare not�察�will not let you alone。

   Oh that you would all lay to heart the words of the Preacher�此 �Rejoice��
   O young man�察�in thy youth�察�and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of
   thy youth�察�and walk in the ways of thine heart�察�and in the sight of
   thine eyes�察�but know thou�察�that for all these things God will bring
   thee into judgment; ��Eccles。 11��9��。 Wonderful�察�that with such a
   prospect�察�any man can be careless and unconcerned� �Surely none are so
   mad as those who are content to live unprepared to die。 Surely the
   unbelief of men is the most amazing thing in the world。 Well may the
   clearest prophecy in the Bible begin with these words�察 �Who hath
   believed our report�拭 ─。�Isa。 53��1��。 Well may the Lord Jesus say�察 �When
   the Son of man eth�察�shall He find faith on the earth�拭─。�Luke 18��8��。
   Young men�察�I fear lest this be the report of many of you in the courts
   above�此 �They will not believe; I fear lest you be hurried out of the
   world�察�and awake to find out�察�too late�察�that death and judgment are
   realities。 I fear all this�察�and therefore I exhort you。

   ��3�� For another thing�察�what young men will be�察�in all probability
   depends on what they are now�察�and they seem to forget this。

   Youth is the seed´time of full age��the moulding season in the little
   space of human life��the turning´point in the history of man's mind。

   By the shoot we judge of the tree�察�by the blossoms we judge of the
   fruit��by the spring we judge of the harvest��by the morning we judge
   of the day��and by the character of the young man�察�we may generally
   judge what he will be when he grows up。

   Young men�察�be not deceived。 Think not you can�察�at will�察�serve lusts and
   pleasures in your beginning�察�and then go and serve God with ease at
   your latter end。 Think not you can live with Esau�察�and then die with
   Jacob。 It is a mockery to deal with God and your souls in such a
   fashion。 It is an awful mockery to suppose you can give the flower of
   your strength to the world and the devil�察�and then put off the King of
   kings with the scraps and leavings of your hearts�察�the wreck and
   remnant of your powers。 It is an awful mockery�察�and you may find to
   your cost the thing cannot be done。

   I daresay you are reckoning on a late repentance。。 You know not what
   you are doing。 You are reckoning without God。 Repentance and faith are
   the gifts of God�察�and gifts that He often withholds�察�when they have
   been long offered in vain。 I grant you true repentance is never too
   late�察�but I warn you at the same time�察�late repentance is seldom true。
   I grant you�察�one penitent thief was converted in his last hours�察�that
   no man might despair�察�but I warn you�察�only one was converted�察�that no
   man might presume。 I grant you it is written�察�Jesus is ;able to save
   them to the uttermost that e to God by Him; ��Heb。 7��25��。 But I warn
   you�察�it is also written by the same Spirit�察 �Because I have called�察�and
   ye refused�察�I also will laugh at your calamity�察�I will mock when your
   fear eth; ��Prov。 1��24´26��。

   Believe me�察�you will find it no easy matter to turn to God just when
   you please。 It is a true saying of good Archbishop Leighton�此 �The way
   of sin is down hill�察�a man cannot stop when he would。; Holy desires and
   serious convictions are not like the servants of the Centurion�察�ready
   to e and go at your desire�察�rather are they like the unicorn in Job��
   they will not obey your voice�察�nor attend at your bidding。 It was said
   of a famous general ��22�А�of old�察�when he could have taken the city ��23��
   he warred against�察�he would not�察�and by and by when he would�察�he could
   not。 Beware�察�lest the same kind of event befall you in the matter of
   eternal life。

   Why do I say all this�拭�I say it because of the force of habit。 I say it
   because experience tells me that people's hearts are seldom changed if
   they are not changed when young。 Seldom indeed are men converted when
   they are old。 Habits have long roots。 Sin once allowed to nestle in
   your bosom�察�will not be turned out at your bidding。 Custom bees
   second nature�察�and its chains are threefold cords not easily broken。
   Well says the prophet�察 ─�Can the Ethiopian change his skin�察�or the
   leopard his spots�拭�then may ye also do good�察�that are accustomed to do
   evil; ��Jer。 13��23��。 Habits are like stones rolling down hill�察�the
   further they roll�察�the faster and more ungovernable is their course。
   Habits�察�like trees�察�are strengthened by age。 A boy may bend an oak��
   when it is a sapling�察�a hundred men cannot root it up�察�when it is a
   full´grown tree。 A child can wade over the Thames at its fountain´head��
   the largest ship in the world can float in it when it gets near the
   sea。 So it is with habits�此�the older the stronger�察�the longer they have
   held possession�察�the harder they will be to cast out。 They grow with
   our growth�察�and strengthen with our strength。 Custom is the nurse of
   sin。 Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse�察�hardens our
   hearts�察�blunts the edge of our conscience�察�and increases our evil
   inclination。

   Young men�察�you may fancy I am laying too much stress on this point。 If
   you had seen old men�察�as I have done�察�on the brink of the grave��
   feelingless�察�seared�察�callous�察�dead�察�cold�察�hard as the nether
   mill´stone�察�you would not think so。 Believe me�察�you cannot stand still
   in the affairs of your souls。 Habits of good or evil are daily
   strengthening in your hearts。 Every day you are either getting nearer
   to God�察�or further off。 Every year that you continue impenitent�察�the
   wall of division between you and heaven bees higher and thicker�察�and
   the gulf to be crossed deeper and broader。 Oh�察�dread the hardening
   effect of constant lingering in sin� �Now is the accepted time。 See that
   your flight be not in the winter of your days。 If you seek not the Lord
   when young�察�the strength of habit is such that you will probably never
   seek Him at all。

   I fear this�察�and therefore I exhort you。

   ��4�� For another thing�察�the devil uses special diligence to destroy the
   souls of young men�察�and they seem not to know it。

   Satan knows well that you will make up the next generation�察�and
   therefore he employs every art betimes to make you his own。 I would not
   have you ignorant of his devices。

   You are those on whom he plays off all his choicest temptations。 He
   spreads his net with the most watchful carefulness�察�to entangle your
   hearts。 He baits his traps with the sweetest morsels�察�to get you into
   his power。 He displays his wares before your eyes with his utmost
   ingenuity�察�in order to make you buy his sugared poisons�察�and eat his
   accursed dainties。 You are the grand object of his attack。 May the Lord
   rebuke him�察�and deliver you out of his hands。

   Young men�察�beware of being taken by his snares。 He will try to throw
   dust in your eyes�察�and prevent you seeing anything in its true colours。
   He would fain make you think evil good�察�and good evil He will paint��
   and gild�察�and dress up sin�察�in order to make you fall in love with it。
   He will deform�察�and misrepresent�察�and caricature true religion�察�in
   order to make you take a dislike to it。 He will exalt the pleasures of
   wickedness�察�but he will hide from you the sting。 He will lift up
   before your eyes the cross and its painfulness��but He will keep out
   of sight the eternal crown。 He will promise you everything�察�as he did
   to Christ�察�if you will only serve him。 He will even help you to wear a
   form of religion�察�if you will only neglect the power。 He will tell you
   at the beginning of your lives�察�it is too soon to serve God��he will
   tell you at the end�察�it is too late。 Oh�察�be not deceived��

   You little know the danger you are in from this enemy�察�and it is this
   very ignorance which makes me afraid。 You are like blind men�察�walking
   amidst holes and pitfalls�察�you do not see the perils which are around
   you on every side。

   Your enemy is mighty。 He is called ;The Prince of this world; ��John
   14��30��。 He opposed our Lord Jesus Christ all through His ministry。 He
   tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit�察�and so brought sin and
   death into the world。 He tempted even David�察�the man after God's own
   heart�察�and caused his latter days to be full of sorrow。 He tempted even
   Peter�察�the chosen Apostle�察�and made him deny his Lord。 Surely his
   enmity is not to be despised��

   Your enemy is restless。 He never sleeps。 He is always going about as a
   roaring lion�察�seeking whom he may devour。 He is ever going to and fro
   in the earth�察�and walking up and down in it。 You may be careless about
   your souls�此�he is not。 He wants them to make them miserable�察�like
   himself�察�and will have them
