     So thousands and thousands say they have no time to be religious.  What have you done with all the time that God has given you?  What have you been doing all these months and years that have rolled away since He gave you birth?  Is it true you have no time?  What did you do with the 365 days of last year?  Had you no time during all these twelve months to seek the kingdom of God?  You spend twenty years getting an education to enable you to earn a living for this poor frail body, so soon to be eaten up of worms.  You spend seven or eight years in learning a trade, that you may earn your daily bread; and yet you have not five minutes to accept of this invitation of Christ's!  My friend, bear in mind you have yet to find time to die; to stand in the presence of the Judge.  And when he calls you to stand before that bar, will you dare to tell Him that you had no time to prepare for the marriage supper of His Son?  You have no time?  Take time?  Let every thing else be laid aside until you have accepted of this invitation.  Do you not know that it is a lie?  If you have not time, take it.  "Seek first the kingdom of God."  Let the children sit up a little late to-night.  Let your business be suspended to-morrow.  Suppose you do not get so much money tomorrow.  What matter it if you get Christ?  Better for a man to be sure of salvation than to "gain the whole world and lose his own soul."
